Re: Pro Tools Metering Accuracy
There is a noted bug at the moment whereby metering on channel and master is 3db off. Just take a sine wave or the click (with peak hold set to infinite in the pref's) and check it.
Such is a major bug and needs imperatively rectifying please tech support team. |

Re: Pro Tools Metering Accuracy
Hey Rich, Avid are aware of the issue. Please see attached picture showing click playback metered in both channel and master.
PT 9.0.5, OSX 10.6.7 and 10.7.x This bug along with ADC not working for bussed recordings to audio tracks, and an audio region graphic issue - when one scrolls with a mouse wheel slowly at sample level you'll note waveform displays gaps... are serious and need resolving as they effect workflow considerably. |

Re: Pro Tools Metering Accuracy
Looks like ordinary pan law to me. Pan that channel hard left (or right). If the corresponding master channel doesn't match the source channel level then, then you might have a case.

Re: Pro Tools Metering Accuracy
Please explain how this is a bug. This is normal pan law behavior.

Re: Pro Tools Metering Accuracy
You'll have to ask Avid. I just reported it and it was confirmed and logged an issue.

Re: Pro Tools Metering Accuracy
I'd suggest being a bit more conservative on the input levels. With 24 bit recording, there is no real advantage to getting close to clipping at any stage or using any meters - Focusrite or PTools. My 2 cents.

Re: Pro Tools Metering Accuracy
just FYI different focusright and presonus products clip at various points before 0DBfs manual for firestudio and octo pre says "you will not hear distortion but the converters are about to clip" read this in the Nico manual a couple weeks ago.
