You know Bob, I'd like it if they took the meters off of midi tracks and replaced then with an activity indicator instead. The meters showing O/L is a real nuisance.

This is a great idea!

No don't take away my meters I pushed for them for a long time and when I got them I was and am happy. 

I'm curious how you use the midi meters. Unlike audio meters I find the midi ones to be useless. Some pointers on how they can be used would be great.

For me they tell me when a MIDI track is actually sending data. They also give me an idea about what is being sent. The level is velocity and the red telling me an event is occurring. 
 
They are not as useful as the ones in Logic or Cubase but they are far better than what we had before which was nothing.

Maybe they could make it an option?
I get a little confused at times with the MIDI meters.

If you see numbers its an audio meter if not its a MIDI meter. 

again, thank you all for your advice and ideas, i agree with robert e bone, changing the meter format i think would be a good idea to change the colors because the red is distracting as hell. we're all so "trained" to stay away from the red like if an audio meter hit red one would get an  electrical shock or something. maybe that's a bit extreme.

tough one for me because like John, I like the way it is now.
but I also share the sentiments that Joey mentioned.
"We're all so "trained" to stay away from the red".
 
That's a good point.
However, When recording Midi, its not really needed to have a correct level and when playing back Midi,
who cares about the level (if its a SIT). unless of course its routed to an output track.

It is funny they chose red for the event display.
