WAVES L2 shows overs in DP9.13
Using WAVES Limiters on the Master fader - still showing overs after setting the output to -0.3. L2, 3, L3 Multi etc. Using WAVES build 9.91.0.7. Running OS X 10.12.5. Any advice welcome

Perhaps, you set the limiter to Post-Fader?

Re: WAVES L2 shows overs in DP9.13
Are you seeing them in your bounced master? If so, could it be because the dither needs more than 0.3 dB of headroom?dhelpling wrote:Using WAVES Limiters on the Master fader - still showing overs after setting the output to -0.3.

Or maybe they are ISPs?

Re: WAVES L2 shows overs in DP9.13
How are you determining you have overs? DP's meter? Before bouncing? After bouncing? More specifics might point to an answer.

Re: WAVES L2 shows overs in DP9.13
Thanks PhilBrown - I am getting Red overs in the Master Fader meter. Using an L2 with an output of -0.3 has never produced overs in the past.

Re: WAVES L2 shows overs in DP9.13
I was not able to duplicate that behavior although I am having other Waves issues [OK, anti-Waves people, you can stop cheering]. I suggest you contact Waves. They got back with me right away recently. This might be an issue with inter-sample peaks being read differently by DP than Waves but that's just a wild guess.
EDIT - this is long shot, but If you happen to have DSP-Quattro it can read out overs etc. Pg. 77 of the manual. You'd have to bounce the file first, of course.

Re: WAVES L2 shows overs in DP9.13
Thanks Phil - I'll reach out to WAVES and see if they'll work with me. Typically in this situation, WAVES will say that it is DP9 and MOTU will say it is WAVES. I'll post the answers and solution if there is one. Cheers!

Re: WAVES L2 shows overs in DP9.13
After upgrading to OS X 10.12.6 the issue is gone...
MOTU: "I can’t help you with technical support for a non MOTU plug-in. I can tell you it makes no difference to DP as to which version of OS you are running as long as you are running 10.6.8 or later."
WAVES: "I am not familiar with this behavior as Digital Performer is officially supported with Waves. However it is only supported with version 9.12. Is it possible that this behavior started only with the update to Digital Performer 9.13?"
