    Meters in SONAR show peak (or RMS) values at a given instant in time. The actual peak value displayed by a meter is the highest peak recorded in an interval of time referred to as a "Meter Frame". The default size for a meter frame is 40 milliseconds, which is an accuracy of 25 FPS. The 'MeterFrameSizeMS' AUD.INI variable allows you to change the size of this interval. It goes in the [Wave] section of AUD.INI. For example:

    [Wave]
    MeterFramSizeMS=40

    Setting this value to a lower value will make the meters record peak info for smaller time slices. However this can also increase the metering CPU and memory cost.

    Although SONAR doesn't enforce a fixed value range, the recommended range should be between 10 and 200 milliseconds.
