Print Mix to Stereo Track Level Question

[paulmitch]

I have a demo mix that I'm trying to print a mix of rather than bouncing to disk. I created a new audio track and assigned the input of the track as Bus 47-48. I then took my other tracks and in addition to bussing them to my main stereo mix, I bussed them to my "print mix track" at 47-48. When I monitor the level on record pause, the level on the 'print mix track' is identical to that on the master fader, but as soon as I hit record, the level drops about 3 dB. Anyone have any suggestions for it?

record and playback faders unlinked?

I think I just figured it out. I have an L2 on the master fader and on the track I'm trying to print to. During playback, the L2 is active and it must get bypassed when I record.

-3db you say.. is it possible this has something to do with the Pan Law?

No. You've got to send to your record track from your monitor track that has the L2 on it. Your record track needs to record the audio that is hotter as a result of going through the limiter.
