"Now I'm looking at metering in the bpm counter. What we can do is we can look at different options for seeing our decibel level of our track as well as the tempo of our track. Now, when looking at this it's an apple loop actually so it's going to always stay linked to our tempo. What we're going to do is go into our plug in settings and choose metering and bpm counter. What we're going to do is play our track, it's going to count it and tell us the bpm of our track. Now another thing we can also do in here is go in and choose another thing. A level meter. Now this level meter is going to effect the actual bpm, or not the bpm, the actual decibel level of what we're listening to. It's going to let us read it and know exactly where we're at. So I'm going to play it. This is very important whenever you're doing your track. This is going to allow you to, to know where you're at and to avoid any type of distortion or clipping."
