I have found that using Vegas 3, the master levels are always higher than they logically should be. Case in point: I have 2 tracks, neither of which peak above 0 db with no busses, effects, eq, or compression assigned to them. With the master fader at 0 db, the master levels are clipping badly. I have to turn the master fader way down to mix any tracks with faders set near 0 db. This does not seem to be true for effects sends, though. The master levels for effects seem to be equal to the effects return levels when the master fader is set to zero. The result of this is that it's hard to get effects to be very prominant in the mix without cutting all track levels drastically. Am I wrong in assuming that with the master level set to zero, the master levels should be equal to the track levels?
What is going on with my levels??
