Track Meters Turned off?

Hello!

I have been using Acid for 20 years.. I have never run into this issue before. I am hoping the hivemind can point me in the right direction.

Each track has its own volume monitoring meter and then we can adjust the volume as we see fit. Mine are not working. They are there horizontally on each track but they are empty and do not respond when audio (or midi) is played.

I have reviewed the settings and searched google and I am unable to find this answer. I am using the newest version of ACID PRO, I just downloaded it a month ago and have been making songs without even realizing this until I heard clipping in an exported file today. The meters weren't showing clipping, so somehow I hadn't realized that they weren't showing ANY activity!

Thanks in advance for your help!

@amy-k right click anywhere in the track control area, it opens another menu box, go to the bottom and click on Meters and then click on Show Output Meters Cheers

Thank you for your reply! I looked and this setting was already selected for me. Here is a screenshot. What I find interesting though is that on your screen your meter shows numbers, mine is just blank :(

I see I wasn't exactly where you were, so this is a screen shot of that as well -

Actually, your screenshot did lead to the fix! For some reason, I did not have a clip range set which I didn't realize until seeing your screenshot. It is now fixed! Thank you!!

@amy-k Well that's good new !!! My little screen shot was done in AP10 and I see you're using AP11, I was hoping that wouldn't be a problem and it seems it wasn't. Cheers
