More on True Peak

The True Peak measurement detects analog clipping. Even when the peak lies in between samples, so that the distortion that can happen in subsequent Digital-to-Analogue converters, sample rate converters, or commonly used codecs can be predicted and avoided.

The Maximum Permitted True Peak Level recommended in EBU R 128 is -1 dBTP.

To monitor the true peak on the Master Audio Bus:

Open one of four Meter views, using the menu: Views > Meter > Meter - Sync Group 1...4.
Click [...] and select the Master Audio Bus.
From the list, select True Peak to monitor the True Peak.
