[sjoens]

Update the Preferences > Audio Meters window to include all meter options.

Current Options > Meter Options routine requires numerus trips into the menu to set and reset each meter.

I couldn't agree more. I believe that scook responded to a Cakewalk forum thread on meter options with a proposal similar to yours in final days before Gibson shutdown Cakewalk in November 2017.

This should have been implemented a long, long time ago.  Who do you need to talk to get this and other obvious improvements (like text enlargement in the timeline and Aim Assist, for example) into CbB?

Kind regards,

having all meter option enabled at once would likely cause cpu spikes.

Most users wouldn't know about that but if having an all in one window for meters is a bad idea, I'd like to know.

Yeah. This really sucks.

If they could at least make a way to keep the current flyout open while you make several changes, that would be good enough for me.

Just an FYI, and I'm sure this applies to other Menu use cases as well. The new "Cakewalk Assist" search feature (CTRL+/) allows you to build 'custom' menus to see/change various options all in one window. 

Example: To see/change all your meter options press CTRL+/ then type 'meter option' in the search box - and poof!:

Nice!  Mine seems more compact tho, and, where's the global Set As Default button??
