0 sjoens Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 It works here but you have to save the project with the new settings for them to be retained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 David Baay Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 There was a longstanding issue that RMS+Peak on tracks was not saved. I eventually gave up on it and haven't checked whether it was ever fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I tried that here multiple times , but do dice..... I take it you didn't have to say any magic words for it to work.....? There might be some obscure set of circumstances that get it to work....... Should just work straight out of the box. I wonder what support will say?

One of the few things that works as advertised. But that's prob'ly 'cause I don't use it much. I'm more perturbed that I have to go back into the menu for each setting. Would be so nice to have a window in Preferences for Meters. BTW, are you using the Menu > Options > Meter Options to make changes? Making them elsewhere makes them temporary.

0 Mo Jonez Posted March 26, 2022 Author Share Posted March 26, 2022 It's been pretty fickle for me. Saved plenty of times after applying the setting and sometimes retains other times doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be the Workspace you're using has different bus meter settings that get restored when you open the project. Save (update) the workspace before you close and see if that solves the problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Lost Phases Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Even i have found this behavior to be annoying. And it's not just with the meter options, i have noticed this with custom channel layout for the Inspector or the option to display compact prochannel eq module and settings similar to that. Is there any workaround right now to set these options permanently and not have to set them individually for each project? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you change to "none," save, close and re-open? I'm not at my DAW right now, but I don't have that problem and don't think I ever have. I don't change individual channel meter settings. I use meter settings in the dropdowns to set all meters of a given category in track and console views. So I can't comment on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 David Baay Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I finally got around to checking this, and am not seeing a problem with saving Peak Hold on bus meters or the old issue with saving RMS+Peak on track meters. I don't know about bus meters, but the RMS+Peak issue existed long before Workspaces were introduced, and I don't use them in any case.
