Per Effect Ouput Level Monitor
The Audio Level Monitor feature lets you visualize the signal level of any audio effect in real time, directly from its output jack. This is useful for debugging your signal chain, detecting clipping, and understanding how each effect contributes to the overall mix.
Each audio effect has an output jack that doubles as a toggle for the level monitor. When activated, a small audio level widget appears inline, giving you an at-a-glance view of the signal passing through that effect. You can also expand any monitor to a larger display for a more detailed reading.
Press Shift + Left Click on the output jack of any audio effect to toggle the level monitor on.
A small audio level widget will appear next to the jack, showing the real-time signal level.
The output jack before the monitor is activated.
Press Shift + Left Click on the output jack again to turn the monitor off.
The widget will disappear and the effect will return to its default appearance.
The monitor after the first click — the level widget is now active.
Click on any audio level widget to mirror its signal on the large audio level display on the left side of the screen.
This is particularly useful when you need a more precise reading — for example, to check for clipping or to compare levels across different effects.
The selected widget is mirrored on the large display panel on the left.
| Action | Result |
|---|---|
Shift + Left Click on output jack (monitor off) |
Activates the level monitor |
Shift + Left Click on output jack (monitor on) |
Deactivates the level monitor |
| Left Click on an active level widget | Mirrors it on the large display |
Note: The
Shiftmodifier is required to toggle the monitor. A plain click on the output jack performs the standard jack connection behaviour.
- You can activate monitors on multiple effects simultaneously to compare levels across your signal chain.
- Use the large display to spot clipping or unexpected signal drops that might be hard to read on the small inline widget.
- The monitor is non-destructive — toggling it on or off has no effect on the audio signal itself.
