Hello! Disclaimer: I’m a new user and this is my first post, please go easy on me 🙂
I’m in the process of getting Podium up and running on my recording PC, a Windows 7 box with 3x Delta 1010LT sound cards. So far, so good! Still, I seem to be having a problem with the volume meters tripping the clip indicator. When I crank up the input level enough that the sound card drivers indicate clipping the mixer’s level meter maxes out at +0.00 but does not stick red. The same thing happens with recording unarmed and the arrangement’s mono panning setting set to “balance control,” it tops out at +0.00 but does not stick red. However, if I set the gain to +0.01 with recording unarmed it will stick red when it clips, but with a gain setting of 0.001 it will not.
For now I can adjust levels with recording unarmed and all channels set to +0.01. This is doable, but it is problematic if the band gets louder mid-session, as there is no way to tell that channels start to clip until after the fact.
