Dynamics threshold setting

[Cary B. Cornett]

One of the great conveniences in SawStudio is the ability to watch indicator lines in the hot track when setting compression threshold. Yesterday I was working on a mastering session, and those lines did not appear when I was adjusting the compression threshold. Everything else about the compression worked fine, so far as I could tell. I tried closing and opening the session, closing and reopening SawStudio, even re-booted the computer more than once. None of these things helped.

Is there something else I might be missing here?

Long shot, but: make certain the playback cursor is over a region with audio, and that playback is stopped and the engine is not running. Under those conditions, if you're on the hot track you should see the compression lines when adjusting the threshold. Otherwise, I'm stumped.
