Metering
WaveLab Pro contains a variety of audio meters that you can use for monitoring and analyzing audio. Meters can be used to monitor audio during playback, rendering, and recording. Furthermore, you can use them to analyze audio sections when playback is stopped.
Bit Meter
The Bit Meter shows how many bits are used.
Bit Meter Settings

Bit Meter Settings

In the Bit Meter Settings dialog, you can adjust the behavior and display of the Bit Meter.

Colors

You can adjust the colors of the meter segments, grids, background, etc. by clicking the corresponding color buttons.

Bit Hold Time

Determines for how long peak values are held by the outer meters.

Bit Display

Determines how the bits are displayed. In Intuitive Mode (Proportional to Signal Level), the absolute value of the signal is shown. The bar graph goes higher with higher signal levels, similar to a common level meter.

In True Mode (Signed Samples), the meter shows the direct mapping of the bits. However, because the actual values may be negative, there is no intuitive relationship with the level. This mode is useful if you want to check the full range, because all bits are displayed, regardless of the audio signal level.
