Troubleshooting
Peak VST 2.53 Input Meters do not correspond to USBPre meters.
- Symptoms: When making a mono recording with the USBPre using
Sound Manager drivers the input level meters on Peak do not correspond to the
USBPre input level meters.
- Cause: Selecting a Mono recording actually is recording the
average of both USBPre channels. Bias Inc. has been informed and is working
on a solution.
- Solution: Input the identical signal into both USBPre channels
when recording or use the USBPre ASIO drivers. Input meters will
correspond properly when using ASIO.
Peak VST 2.53 does not work for 24-bit recording.
- Symptoms: With the USBPre in ASIO mode and the recording
resolution set to 24, there is no option to select 24 bits within Peak and an
attempt to record produces noise.
- Cause: This is a know problem with Peak. Bias Inc. is
aware of the issue.
- Solution: Through the USBPre ASIO control panel set the
recording resolution to 32 bits and then select 24 bits within Peak.
