No way to know level in Audio object Handles

Hi,

I have found a couple rather annoying shortcomings in Movie Edit Pro.

1. When importing a mastered stereo mix into the timeline, the audio level is automatically set to around -6db instead at the mastered radio level. This annoying feature leads to the next one...

2. As an audio producer, the need to see numeric levels for accuracy is a MUST in any audio mixing environment. I have noticed however, when adjusting the audio object levels, there's nothing to show where in the meter the audio is. You pretty much have to guess by checking the mixer, which itself is not very accurate, especially for critical ceiling levels.

Is there any way I can see numerical levels when adjusting the audio object handles?

Thanks

George

Hi,

Just to pick up from what Peter mentioned, below are some screen shots of various audio things available.

Mastering Suite with EQ open:

There are also audio effects under the Effects tab that I did not show.

Music Editor 3 - that comes with MEP Plus/Premium and VPX - open to the Cleaning screen with the Denoiser window (movable) open:

ME3 - open to Mastering Screen with EQ's window (movable) open

By default, ME3 is the external audio editor with the path to the exe set in Program Settings. Thus a single object can be sent to it by right-clicking on an audio object, Edit audio in external editor, and the wave is created on the timeline and opened in ME3. Modify in ME3, Exit, it will ask to save, save, and the modified wave file is now the one on the timeline.

This works by changing the editor to AML. I wonder if it also works by changing the editor to Ozone. Anyone try this?
