metrobot Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Hello I have all my track outputs going to a master buss and the output of the master buss sent to the stereo out. Both the master buss and the stereo out faders are set at 0 but the meters on the master buss are running 2-3 db hotter than the meters on the stereo out. Anyone know why this is? Shouldn't they be showing the same output? The master buss has a send sent post fader to a mono output but there's no processing on it. Cheers and kind regards -M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eriksimon Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 And where's that mono output going? Anyway, a screenshot of your (complete) mixer might help. A lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camillo jr Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Yup, sure sounds like that send on the masterbus is adding extra level to your Stereo out. Regardless of the lack of processing or it's pre or post fader status, if the send is on, it's another audio signal in the path and it may well be the culprit. Check for an aux that is receiving the bus line from your masterbus' send. If the aux is set to Stereo Out, there's your problem. If this is what's happening, then your choices are, re-route the aux's output or turn down the send. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metrobot Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 The send is going to the avtn buss which was being sent to Avatone output 3-4 I swiched the avtn buss and Avatone output to so it's just output 3 as it should have been and the problem seems to have been fixed. Though I don't see how as the send and the outputs are not going to the stereo outs. Cheers. -M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shivermetimbers Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 You have a send 31 on your master bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eriksimon Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 You have a send 31 on your master bus. But bus 31 doesn't go to his Stereo Out. Or am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shivermetimbers Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 If you think of it the other way round ... Whatever is going out the stereo bus is being sent to bus31. Guess where bus 31 ends up? camillo jr called it. Also, isn't the masterbus up 3.9? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metrobot Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Yup Send 31 is being sent to the avtn buss and the output is the Avantone Aux output (output 3 on my MOTU) The Avantone Aux is not going to my stereo out...so I can't seem to see why there would have been a difference in levels.

Eriksimon Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 The Avantone Aux is not going to my stereo out...so I can't seem to see why there would have been a difference in levels. I agree with you, the bus 31 is not involved, unless the Avatones outputs (I have no idea what kind of thing it is, a compressor? Exiter? Enhancer? Tube amp?) are being fed back into Logic somewhere outside this screenshot... But the whole thing is moot now anyway, since the issue seems to have cleared up...

metrobot Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 It's an Avantone mix cube mono speaker... anyway it's fixed now, don't know why or how. Cheers. -M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
