page,
for that clip i amplified both channels to -4 dB. you're saying you're seeing a 1 dB discrepancy?
Yep. The left channel peaks at -4, the right channel at -5 in the sample, so the gain required to get to 0 from here is different.
My guess is you accidentally ran the amplify function for both channels and which would produce uniform game for a track that has different peak values. If I run them one at a time, I get different default values to produce a 0db peak.
So if you try and amplify that sample to lets say -2, do you only apply 2db to each channel or do you apply 2 on the left and 3 on the right? (open amplify on each track after doing so and you'll see the new amount of gain needed to get to 0 which is the default setting).
