> why tracks don't have option to set default metering as k-meters Because it does not (usually) make sense. When tracking you need to make sure to not clip the signal, and hence needs a digital-peak meter. Measuring loudness as perceived by humans is useful during mixing after summing on busses or the master-bus. see also https://manual.ardour.org/meters/ |

as far i understand k-meter is RMS + peak meter but just scaled by k-system if K-meter problem is it doesn't show cliping it have peak meter and also when you achieve top of this scale (doesn't mater what number you receive) you are get cliped k-meter give user a ton of headroom - cliping?? so maybe some user (like me) want mix with k-meter and set it zero as ref in tracks to mix with ton of headroom then in bus processing go it up near to clip level i dont think this option be worth to kill |

I'd second this feature request. IMO, K-System meters offer great ergonomics for track metering when recording. I typically use K-20 for individual tracks, and K-14 on the master for mixing and mastering, and if the levels are around 0 on the tracks, it usually ends up around 0 on the master. Clipping is very unlikely if you track around 0 on a K-20, and there's extra CPU load, I haven't noticed it! I think it would be nice to have them (and why not all types?) available as options for the default track meter type. |

@x42 With 32-bit float processing, you’ll never clip so long as your audio stays in the DAW |

@x42 I invite you to a duel Whoever killed that one will decide on this option :D |
