The only way to meter in a studio setting with Strobes is to use a Light Meter, The camera meter can not used at all for measuring the light from a Flash or Strobe.

Also a Light meter can not be fooled by back lighting as it is not measuring that, where as the camera is, unless you move to the correct mode ie Spot or very small CW circle.
