hi guys,

i set my output level to -0.3 db on my pro-l limiter, i dont use true peak. 5 tracks are exactly at -0.3 db but one is at unbelievably -0.32 db :D, but yeah, does it mean i need to theoretically push it a bit more on the limiter? e.g. push it 0.1db more? so it seems if a track is not reaching the desired output gain it means it isnt pushed hard enough, correct?

thanks!

thanks alot, yeah you are right, but do you know ifthis is correct what i think is true, that if the peak isnt reached the limiter should be pushed harder?

what is strange, i raised the limiter 1 db and it got to -0.31dB.. strange, the output showed -0.30, i typed in again -0.30 and exported with dialing back the 1db and suddenly it is also -0.30 now... must have been a strange bug in pro-l.

Add a brickwall limiter after the Pro-L 😉
I wonder what happens if I press this button...
