  Master Output Meter Calibration

  Posted by John Lenihan on July 29, 2010 at 2:56 pm

  I have Vegas 9e and have only recently started to use it heavily.

  I have realized that my master output meter seems to read higher than it should.

  Video with audio that was captured at -6 to 0 db reads 0 to plus 6 db.

  Also, If I put a store bought audio CD into the timeline and play it, the master output meter reads around +6db most of the time. I cannot believe that they would produce a cd that hot.

  All possible gain settings are at 0db and there is no fx in the output bus.

  Is there something I am missing?

  Thanks

  I am using Vegas Pro 8 and I too have the same problem any CD plays too hot.

  Using a calibration file 1khz tone @ -18dbFS shows as -6dBFS.

  Is there a setting I’m missing somewhere?
