    You mean the true peak reading? It makes sense. All limiters (uness they clearly state they are true peak) are non-true peak limiters. The main peak meters (the ones on the left) are non-true peak meters, so if they show the expected peak value (as set on limiter) then is all fine

    Yep, TP can exceed sample peak by way more than 0.5dB. In fact I've seen differences way over 1dB.
