Reaper Volume Meter Malfunctioning

Thanks for the reply.

I think, ( I think) I found the problem after reading about it online.

It seemed as if the fx chain I loaded may be the cause.

I had three fx loaded, and after I deleted them, the volume seems to be functioning correctly.

To answer your question, I loaded a track with no bassline, then when I added another track, (track two) The volume meter for track two was malfunctioning.

After reading online, I decided to try deleting the fx chain, and now the volume is working correctly so far.

I had two songs loaded in Reaper, and loaded the fx chain on one of them, and everything was working fine.

When I tried to load the fx chain onto another song, Reaper disconnected.

I think this is when it happened.

I have been tinkering with so much stuff on Reaper, it's become a blur.

Now I'm going to experiment by loading one effect at a time, to see if the problem recurs.

Hmm, this is what I found.

The volume meter malfunctions when I have Reaper plug-ins installed.

With the track armed to check volume levels, the meter reads -96.3 no matter where the slider is set.

The volume itself does change with the slider.

It's the meter that is malfunctioning.

The meter works fine with the track unarmed.

I was using ReaComp, and ReaEq, and a Softube Saturation plug-in.

With the Softube plug-in only, the meter does not malfunction.
