Hi everyone, as you can probably tell I'm very new here but I've been using Reason for the better part of a year now (admittedly, I've learned slowly through experience).

When I take a look at my peak meter it bothers me that I can't see all the values rather than intervals of 4. Is there any way to change my settings so I can see all the numerical values or at least the even numbers?

Thanks for the help!

Which meter do you mean by "peak meter"? There's no way to add detail to the labeling of Reason's meters unfortunately, but if you're not already using the "Big Meter" on the hardware interface, check that out and see if it helps at all. Despite the labeling, you can pretty easily read it down to 1 dB increments (each light being 1 dB), at least for values above -30 or so.

If you need more precision than that, there are excellent cheap/free REs that give you digital readouts down to one or two decimal places. Selig Gain and Flower Audio Loudness Meter are two of the best. Red Rock's RE128 and Lectric Panda's LPM offer more advanced EBU R128 compliant metering if you need it.
