Hi Folks...
I believe many of you are familiar with the cakewak bundle file for Kori Yarckin's 'Floating'. When I eventually open up the file in Sonar X1 and play it, I noticed that visually the meters of the 'master' bus are clipping, as in, it's in the red region most of the time, though I can't hear any audio distortion. My question is, why is it like that? All these while I thought that the meter readings should never reach into the 'red' region. Hope someone can explain. Thanks.
regards

The master bus meters on this project will clip, if you, "unmute," the full mix. this project has a track called, "floating, full mix." that is a complete mix of the song. If you unmute this, you are combining this mix, with all of the other tracks in the project. When everything sums together, you get a constant clip... you need to A. Listen to the full mix. B. Listen to the mix of the other tracks. C. Not both.
I also notice one of the drum buses, "drum bus d, drum crush." peaks above zero, but does not cause a clip on the master.
