Adobe Audition Practice Exam

The feature being described is meters. Meters show the real-time amplitude of the audio as it plays, giving both the instantaneous peak level (the highest momentary amplitude) and the RMS level (a short-term average that reflects perceived loudness). This combination helps you avoid clipping (keep peaks below 0 dBFS) and gauge how loud a mix feels over time. In most setups, you’ll see left and right channel readings and a combined indication for the overall mix.

Spectral Frequency Display, Marker List, and Effects Rack serve different purposes—frequency content over time, navigation markers, and signal processing, respectively—so they don’t provide the continuous peak and RMS level information during playback.
