The one thing I have been unable to find in reference to K metering is what exactly is he using for the window size to calculate RMS.... 250ms... 10 seconds... what? I am guessing it is in the 250-500 ms range.... but I have never seen it stated precisely.
I don't think either in his book or on the digido website does he address the matter of RMS window size (if I'm wrong, somebody hook me up with a URL/page number please). I went ahead and shot an email off to Bob to see if he can lend some information as to how RMS window size affects K-metering and a suggested setting.
Diligently watching this thread. Thanks for the clarifications...

Would I have to buy some sort of special meter to set up k metering or is this something that can be accomplished with reapers meters or any daw's meters.
I'm using this one which billybk1 kindly linked me to in another thread. I believe its the one from Bob Katz site but i'll check out the file at the link you supplied and compare. Cheers

I'm just not getting it, can someone explain this in laymen's terms? I mean I don't understand, you have to set the monitors for 83db. I guess I just have a thick skull but I would appreciate if someone can explain this a little bit clearer.
That's cool Dstruct, and congratulations on the honorary engineering job. I do a lot of hip hop (and R&B) and I always get "can you make it louder" or "can you add more bass" and I always have to explain about the dynamic range. Usually the hip hop guys will bring their own music and I will just record and mix their voice in but the problem is that some of their music is mixed really hot, I've seen some mixed as hot as 1db of dynamic range, that's very difficult to make their voice fit in I end up having to compress their voice very hard to make it fit in right. Count it a blessing that the people you're working with don't have you mix hot. Peace.

So to clarify the correct settings should be: show, peak+rms top label, peak window size, 100ms display offset, 20db ( for k-20 metering ) display gain, 3.0db red threshold, 4 db and have the monitors putting out 83 dBs correct?
old thread, rise from the dead! Wolffman, I just wanted to follow up on your k-metering set-up. How is it working for you? Have you tweaked your setting at all since this thread? I'm interested in trying the k-14 myself. Thanks much, Warren
