A Volume Meter is a traffic light coloured indicator which shows the levels of sound you are recording. The meter is measured in db (decibels). The Perfect levels for spoken word is between -18db & -9db, this is to allow a gap if the person is speaking slightly louder than normal, it allows room to go a bit louder without it peaking to much. A normal Volume Meter is going up but the one shown is going left to right. The are two seperate levels on it, this is for a stereo output. This is if you are recording as live you will get a better sounding/ better quality of audio.
