Can I have the VU meters show me units in dB?

Hi, I'm new to STP, but a long time user of nonlinear audio editing systems. I'm in the process of figuring out whether I can move to STP from Cakewalk SONAR and Sony SoundForge.
Playing with the software and reading the manual, I can't figure out how to do something I'd expect any audio editing program to do - show (and adjust) the dB scale on the VU meters. Every place I see a VU meter in STP, it doesn't have any units drawn on it. Can I turn on units?
(and if I can't, that sure seems like a big oversight in the program - like building a car with a speedometer that doesn't have any numbers written on it - "Sorry, officer, I didn't realize I was driving 18 miles over the limit. All I could tell was that I was going somewhere roughly midway between PARKED and MAXIMUM.")

Hi Todd,
What I often do is put a multimeter effect plugin on the output buss and show the advanced interface for that plugin--It has some pretty nice features (e.g. nice peak holding markers, goniometer, etc.).

  • In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)?

    Hello, all.
    In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)? For instance, I'm wanting to play an album with a particular track on it or I'm searching for albums that include that track. iTunes incorrectly assumes that all I'm after is that one track and then incorrectly displays the album as if there is only one ttrack on it. This is a bonkers default setting. Can I change this?

    Click the search magnifying glass and uncheck "Search entire library".
    Type in the name of the track.
    Click the album of interest to show tracks.
    Select the track.
    Press the X in the search box to clear the search.
    Double click the track you want to start playing first.

  • JComboBox: Can I have the arrow to show up in non-editing mode ?

    Hi,
    I have a JComboBox in a JTable. The JComboBox is not editable. If I'm selecting from the popup, the Popup shows a nice little arrow on the right. If I'm not selecting (e.g. I'm in another cell or another component has focus), the arrow doesn't show.
    I don't care, but the users get picky sometimes. They want to see the arrow ALWAYS.
    Thanks
    Holger

  • Can i have the orange firefox symbol AND the firefox menu bar showing at the same time?? and how??

    Here are two "Menu" add-ons which alter the Menu bar into one button.
    With this one you can move the new "Menu" button into the Customize Palette, and then when you hit the '''Alt''' key the "Menu will open down from the Titlebar on the left. Won't affect the action of the Firefox button when you de-select the Menu Bar.<br />

    - Have you tried a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try syncing  the iPod to your computer. Then delete from iTunes and sync. that should delete it from the iPod. Then redownload it.

  • FAQ: Can I filter the photos to show just those taken by someone, or liked, or commented on?

    FAQ: Can I filter the photos to show just those taken by someone, or liked, or commented on?
    Answer:
    Yes, GroupPix can show you just subsets of photos at a time.
    To see just the photos from a particular person,
    iOS: go into full screen view for a photo, then tap that person's name; you will see a grid showing only those photos contributed by that person.
    Android: go into an event, select the menu under the Event name, and tap 'Photographer' to show a list of contributors to an event. Tap a person to see their photos.
    To see photos that are liked or have comments, tap the Filter button in the upper-left of the screen. Then, choose just Liked Photos or Commented Photos.
    Tap the back arrow to return to full the Group Album.

  • Wen I save stuff I can't use the (:).  It showes the (-) instead.

    When I put in the title of what I want to save I can't make the (:). It showes the instead. For example, if I save a time like 22:00, it comes out 22-00. I figured it was the keyboard and bought a new one. If it is the keyboard, it is obviously a manufacturing error. Is anyone else having this problem?

    When using my iMac G4 with 10.3.9, and "save as" etc, the same limitations
    exist. Since I have not been using my other computer as much with 10.4.8 installed,
    I'm not sure if Tiger offers more text options when chosing saved item titles.
    [Apparently not; since you are using a later system at this time.]
    Since I've used most versions of OSX since the first Public Beta, which
    was a very limited experimental system, there have been less choices
    in saving item text compared to OS 9.2.2. Some file names have limits.

    If I create a new iTunes account for the German itunes store, what happened with my previous purchases? Do they remain on my iPhone and my Mac's iTunes?
    Nothing will happen to your existing purchases. Your computer will remain authorized - you can authorize a single computer to up to five iTunes Store accounts - and the apps and content will remain in place.
    Can I switch from one acount to the other every time I want to update an application or purchase a new one?
    As long as you're in the relevant country, yes. Again, the terms of use say that you agree not to even attempt to use an iTunes Store from outside of its country.
