Re: No use

[The Oreo Monster]

As do i with the earing loss as well. However perhaps its just me and the fact 
that i never really used meters when i started as the softwere i used then they 
werent accessible so I just got into the habit of not relying on them. 
Recording digital isn't like recording to tape, you don't need to record as hot 
as you can without clipping. If you can get a good signal and you know you 
aren't cranking the gain on your input, its probably a safe bet that things 
probably aren't clipping yet.

 I am guessing you are running PT 10? Well I am and i noticed the same issue 
 as well. didn't till a few days ago while miing a song recorded a couple 
 weekes ago on a project started in PT9  where i know the meters were working. 
 However We finished the mix on friday, and you know how we got around it? We 
 used our ears. Yes metering is nice  but it shouldn't stop you from working 
 just cuz it isn't your ears still work,,  And you should be checking and 
 compairing your stuff to other things eventually so you may notice it sooner 
 or later if ther eis any clipping. Sorry, but yeah it sucks that  its not 
 working but you should still be able to work around it.

 After much trouble shooting, and much head ache, and about 7 or 8 hours 
 later on the clockwheel, I have gotten absolutely nowhere with my PT issue 
 of the meters not moving.  Sweetwater called me back today, and has no 
 bloody clue what is going on.  They did a remote session, and confirmed 
 visually that the meter is not moving either.  It's very obvious sound is 
 getting through to the daw, as when I record, it does so perfectly. 
 Reinstalling ProTools did absolutely no good.  I even went as far as to not 
 just reinstall, but to literally un! install, then! re install.  Even that! 
 didn't fix things.  I have perged my com.digidesign preference files, my DAE 
 files, my PT setup OSX pref file, my ProTools pref file, I have restarted 
 over and over Voiceover, I have rebooted the macbook, I have plugged and 
 unplugged my interface, I have made sure phantom power was on on the 
 interface, which of course it was, my gain on the interface definitely is 
 up... again, we're getting sound to the DAW, the meter just isn't moving and 
 seeing it.  Even when I play back! it doesn't move. Again, Sweetwater was at 
 a loss, and a tech who gave me his personal number to page him at if I have 
 an  emergency, called me back, and he! is even stumped.  I dono how I'm 
 expected to use this product if I can't do something as simple as reading 
 the meter.  I could guess at the level, but, I'm a perfectionest, so that 
 won't do for me.  Please guies.  I've waited all day for a response on this. 
 I'm desperet.  Help me!  Is there not sme setting, somewherte, or maybe a 
 keystroke I accidentally hit trying to hit something else, without realizing 
 it?  Maybe something on the num pad I accidentally hit that would have 
 frozen the meter?  There has to be a logical answer to this, that we're just 
 failing to see.
 
 I want to record so badly that it's driving me nuts, but I don't wanna do so 
 until I can get a rock solid meter reading.
 
 Please please help me.

 exploded into millions of fragmants... OK, I'm just kidding!... no, that

 something! funny.  LOL!~  Seriously though, please, someone help me. here.

 Hey folks. Just wanted to remind everyone about my current kickstarter 
 campaign to raise the funds to produce my second album entitled Headspace. 
 I'm offering many fun rewards for different levels of giving including a free 
 digital copy of the album when it is released, production consultations, 
 co-writing sessions, a house concert, and so much more. I am also offering 
 free of charge a download of my debut album It's About Time, which is 
 available right on the kickstarter page. No questions asked or anything. This 
 album was mixed and mastered by the amazing Slau, who will be mixing the next 
 project as well. However, if I don't reach my goal, they album may not get 
 made, and Slau will be out of a job, begging on the streets, and seeking 
 asylum at the Ukrainian embassy. So please. Don't let that happen. Head on 
 over to http://www.kevinreeves.net, which will redirect you to my kickstarter 
 page, watch the 2 vids if you so desire, download the free album, and 
 consider helping me fund the next one. I've got roughly 8 days left, and I'm 
 trying to raise $7k. I'm currently at $2459, so I have a long way to go. Any 
 help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

 Actually, just paste it into the address field and hit option return on there
