a weird thing is happening on my cubase :o)
 

ok i have sx 2.2

and here is what i find abnormal:

i run a kick on a mono channel; it hits +2.6dB on that mono one but 00dB on the master !!
it clips on its own channel, but doesnt on the master!

it this normal ??? :roll:

nope, not normal. This is without a limiter or some type of compressor on the master buss? Does this happen with all other tracks as well?

Have you got an aux send from the kick going to the master buss as well?

i have absolutely nothing :?

just a new project project where i've inserted a kick on a mono channel



here is a screenshot and the kick wave file :

That's really interesting. ok, I am going to try to replicate it when I get home with the kick file you posted. by chance, have you posted this over at the cubase forums as well? Also, what patch version are you running for sx 2.2?

Try posting at Cubase.net, very nice community over there!

Have you got the the kick set as 'meter input' and the master as 'meter post fader' ? set globally as post fader.

Digital recording is such a head fuck. Move over to tape and you'll enjoy the distortion a whole lot more :lol:

But on a serious note....Im constantly battling levels on my mixer and within Cubase SX. Especially now that i run sounds through my lexicon...I swear to god it has some kinda low output stage ARGHHHHH.....I just dont understand. After uni I really need to go college and get clued up on this technology

How do u take photos of ur desktop?
