I’m trying to learn mastering my songs so I imported a commercially released song into Cubase to analize it and according to cubase LUFS meter the True Peak of the song is at 1.6 dB but according to Voxengo SPAN (Which I have as the 1st insert on the Stereo Out bus) it’s at 0. And also the Meter Peak level on the Stereo Out Bus shows 0dB.
Does this mean the song is clipping or not?? Does Cubase adds dBs when you import something into a project??
No, it doesn ´t.
