Maddening Master Fader Track phantom clips-8.05
Posted: Fri Jan 03, 2014 6:11 pm
I can't be the only person in the world experiencing this—or maybe I've been hexed, so I can be.
I've recorded, mixed and mastered tracks in DP for over a decade and I've never encountered this one before 8.05. I keep getting "phantom" clips on the Master Fader, and I say "phantom" because I can clear them, and with the exact same tracks playing, can back up and play the same bars again, and there's no clipping. Then I'll play a little more and the "red lights" will light up again on the Master Fader. So I'll stop the song, clear the clipping indicators, back it up and play the same bars—and there's no clipping! I even have a MasterWorks Limiter on it, and have even pulled the ceiling down to -2.00, but it's still showing clipping!
It's making it impossible to troubleshoot what might be overloading it, and I've never been through anything more maddening with DP in my life.
None of the individual channels are hitting anything over zero, or even coming close. This is the first song I've worked on in 8.05. I came here to ask about this because I can't find anything anywhere that could explain it and I don't know where to turn at this point.
If I'm being stupid somehow, I'd absolutely love to find out I'm stupid, if only it will stop this.
