Problem with Waves L1

Submitted by ClarkJaman on Wed, 02/27/2013 - 20:59

Hey guys,

I am having a problem with my Waves L1 plugin . It is creating an out ceiling at -3dB, even if I set the out ceiling at -2, -1, or 0. Essentially, I am losing 3dB of headroom on any track that I use the L1 on. The weirder thing is that I am only experiencing this problem with the mono version. If I use the stereo version on a stereo track limiting a stereo signal, it works normally.

Have you guys ever experienced this issue? Does this sound like a reinstall and hope that it works properly kind of thing, or what?

Pax Caritas et lol,
-Clark

when recording to another track?
when boucing the stereo output?
when using it in audiosuite?

if the answer is one of the first 2 answers, couldn't it be that you pan is at center position of a stereo output??
that could be your problem!

It's happening all the time, not just while performing specific functions. That's a good idea, though. I was thinking it might have something to do with the pan pot, but I don't know how to tell or how to fix it.

Put a L1 on a mono track (with signal on it)! Adjust the threshold so you have some limiting happening! leave the out ceiling all the Way up!
Route it to a stereo track/bus! Record on that new track with the pan at center position!
what happens then?
Record the same thing but with the pan at far left position!
what happens then?
