NEW: Volume Leveling uses the additional Headroom provided by Internal Volume
lisbethfox:
Just to clarify, I only turned it to flatline overlows in the first image to show how on an unboosted track its doing that. Usually its on clipping protection since I believe thats apparently the best to use?
This is my 2.0 Zone
mattkhan:
have you tested this with test tones or just real world content?
My method, when verifying the cleanliness of my signal chain, is to use a sine wave generator (e.g. REW) into jriver (via asio line in or wdm) and then use PEQ to route the content within jriver accordingly. You then know exactly what you're putting in and exactly what levels come out the other end. You can also use audacity, or similar, to record the content coming out to verify that it is working exactly as planned.
having said that, 113% means you're ~1.06dB over which is consistent with the earlier comment from mwillems that 4.5dB is a safe amount of attenuation to apply so the answer might just be that you need to attenuate that bit more
lisbethfox:
Culprit found, the final part of my signal chain in PEQ is High Pass at 40 Hz on the Low end speakers
Disabling that bit removed the overflow when, flatline overflows is disabled. It leaves things at a consistent 96% on a very poorly mastered track.
I think this is a bug or something.
mwillems:
It would be very odd if a high-pass pushed things into clipping and I'm not seeing anything like that here, but it may be a bug.
Can you try increasing the attenuation on your "Add" operations as we discussed above just to rule that out?
lisbethfox:
Going down to -6 doesnt help sadly.
This is most likely a different track, however on most tracks I can get up to 139% over (I was never paying too close attention, I happened to look at mostly peaks of 120% at most)
Any idea whats up? Im keeping this off in the mean time and just leaving it on flatline overflows since I cannot find a track that while the high pass is disabled it doesnt go into overload (other than 2 super super quiet SACDs I believe) .
