I found the issue that causes the red waveform

FIrst of all, I have realimit on the master.

i render...everything is fine....black waveform


BUT

if i need an increase in volume on one of the track faders after that to make any final adjustments after hearing the mastered version.... the red waveform then appears on those parts.

I can't understand if this is important or not as the realimit is still on the master! i just had to raise a few tracks up more (while still having realimit on the master with same settings) and now the red waveform appears

can someone inform if this Red warning is a mistake and i should ignore it in this case?
ing is a mistake and i should ignore it in this case as realimit is still on the master with a -0.8 ceiling

With True Peak off (in ReaLimit), it could cause clipping, no doubt.

EDIT: To be more precise, the waveform shows intersample peaks and this can of course happen TP is off.

I was going to point you to a thread at the Reaper forums...
But i think it is your thread.

 

yes!

i found the issue,

i had volume automation on the master going above 0db

 

Never mess around with the master fader.
