Variable Master Peak Levels

So I’m tidying up my track to prevent clipping, and avidly watching my master channel’s peak level. Play my track through once, get a peak of around -4.5dB. Let the whole track loop through a few times and over time, the peak will come up to more like -3.0dB. It’s the same track, just on repeat, so how is the peak level changing over time?

At various points in the track, on various channels (and I’m quite picky about turning them on and off with pattern effect commands), I have :-

  • Gainer
  • Phaser
  • Compressor
  • EQ 5
  • G-Sonique XBass4000L
  • BolsteriserCM
  • Filter
  • Delay

On the last row of the last pattern, I have an OFF on every track column too.

Can’t pin it down to the ones with phasers, but you technique of soloing to find it is a good one that I’ll work on later to discover the problem. Thanks dude.

Hmm., think it’s where I bring in a bassline by sweeping the cutoff up and resonance down on an LP filter. I’ll rein it in a little, which hopefully will keep the peaks down
