Master Bus Meter Off?

Forums

Related to this thread: https://www.rncbc.org/drupal/node/1932
Since there is no meter to show the mixdown of all buses during playback, I've been using X42-meter for this. The main reason is that it will show me the clipping that would be heard on export (but not during playback).
However, I've just noticed that there is about a 10dB difference between Qtractor's master bus and X42's. In the screenshot below, it is just the master bus; so, they should be identical.
I must be overlooking something obvious. Any ideas why they aren't the same? Thanks!

hi, obviously from the connections display above, you're making one big mistake: you're (double) sending the output of each audio Master bus port to both inputs of the DR-14 meter; there should be only an one-to-one connection on each port, to keep it all in the healthy zone :)
