While you’re recording, a responsive meter is provided in the track header to monitor the 
incoming signal level of the selected recording device. It is important that you record 
with the highest signal possible without clipping. 

A reading of 0 dB is the maximum for a digital signal. Clipping occurs when the incoming 
signal is too high to be represented as a digital value. The result is distortion in the recording. A clipped signal will be indicated by a red 
indicator warning at the end of the meters. 

Right-click the meters and choose a command from the shortcut menu to adjust the display of the meters. 

If you’re using a low-latency audio device and you want to hear your recording signal with real-time track effects, you can turn on input 
monitoring. 

To turn on input monitoring, click the Record Device Selector button ( 

) and choose Input Monitor Mode: Auto or Input Monitor 

Mode: On from the menu. During recording, your signal will be played back with the current track effects chain, but a dry (unprocessed) 
signal is recorded. 

When Input Monitor Mode: Auto

 is selected, you will hear the input monitor signal when playback is stopped and during 

recording. If you’re recording into selected events, you'll hear the input monitor signal only when the cursor passes over the selected 
events. 

When Input Monitor Mode: On

 is selected, the behavior is similar to Input Monitor Mode: Auto, but you will always hear the input 

monitor during recording—monitoring is not toggled on and off when recording in to a selected event.
