Default Re: Metering Issue: -23dB tone reading as-3LU in Insight

It's my understanding that -23dB is equal to 0LU/-23LUFS and I can't work out where I'm getting the -3dB drop.

I've tried having Insight on the track insert instead of the master and have the same issue.
I have recorded a clip of the -23dB generated tone and imported the file in to Izotope RX and it's giving a similar reading.

What am I missing...?

Hi,

Route the mono track to a mono master and see if its the same! if mono routed to stereo master then you have the -3db pan law
