Setting Description
dB - When this is activated, the vertical axis shows dB values. When it is deactivated, values between 0 and 1 are shown.
Freq. log - When this is activated, frequencies (on the horizontal axis) are dis-played on a logarithmic scale. When it is deactivated, the frequency axis is linear.
To compare the level between two frequencies, move the pointer to one of the fre-quencies, right click once and move the pointer to the second frequency. The delta value (the difference in level between the current position and the right-click position) is displayed in the upper right corner (labeled "D").
Statistics (Cubase SX only)
The Statistics function on the Audio menu analyzes the selected audio (events, clips or range selections) and displays a window with the fol-lowing
information:
Item Description
Min. Sample Value - The lowest sample value in the selection, as a value between -1 and 1 and in dB.
Max. Sample Value - The highest sample value in the selection, as a value between -1 and 1 and in dB.
Peak Amplitude - The largest sample value (in absolute numbers) in the selec-tion, in dB.
DC Offset - The amount of DC Offset (see page 305) in the selection, as a percentage and in dB.
Estimated Resolution - Even though an audio file is in 16 or 24 bits, it may have been converted from a lower resolution. The Estimated Resolution value makes an educated guess about the actual resolution of the audio selection, by computing the smallest level difference between two samples.
Sample Rate - The sample rate of the audio selection.
Min. RMS Power - The lowest loudness (RMS) measured in the selection.
Max. RMS Power - The highest loudness (RMS) measured in the selection.
Average - The average loudness over the whole selection.

Pictures attached showing the scale with negative values in dB where "0 dB" is max, or in a 0-1.0 scale where "1.0" is max.
Higher positive values may appear only as "delta", marked by the letter "D" - the DIFFERENCE between 2 values.
In the stats window the values appear in both forms: dB, and -1 to 1.
Read The F_u_c_k_e_n_ Manual , in a less friendly tone.
This forum is NOT SX school. If U have a specific question quote the the phrase in the manual and describe the specific problem in detail, after reading the relevant section in the manual CAREFULLY to find the answer.
The "teach me cuz it's easier that reading and searching" attitude will get U flamed.
