<div dir="ltr">By default, the master bus doesn't use a peak meter. It is measuring RMS with a K meter (right now I forget if it is a K20 or K14). So you cannot interpret the values in the same way. K meters are more appropriate on the master out than a peak meter.<br><br><a href="http://manual.ardour.org/meters/">http://manual.ardour.org/meters/</a><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 1, 2017 at 9:47 PM, Alf Haakon Pietruszka Lund <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:alf@mellomrommet.no" target="_blank">alf@mellomrommet.no</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I just finished a project in Ardour 4.7.0 on Ubuntu Studio 14.04<br>
<br>
There are several regions in many tracks, some of them overlapping in time, most of them not.<br>
<br>
On most of the tracks I used a compressor and a limiter (both from calf) to avoid peaks and potential clipping. I set the limiter's output gain to minus 2.2 dB.<br>
<br>
As expected, when focused on one of the tracks, the meter doesn't pass -2.2 dB.<br>
<br>
However, when focused on the master bus, the meter 'clips' and peaks at +0.9 dB.<br>
<br>
Why is this? Will it affect export and normalizing of the project? If yes, how?<br>
<br>
Thankful for any and all input,<br>
Al F<br>
