Brickwall limiting is not actually brickwalling? :|

[samdam1]

Hey guys,

I'm testing out a few brickwall limiter plugs, when I use them in Ableton they are properly brickwalling and there is not audio going past the said volume (-0.3db), but once i export and put the final products back in ableton, there is a little bit of audio still going past 0db....

why is this?

ableton automatically increases the gain of rendered clips to be zero db.

Hmm, why would it do that, isn't it kind of weird?

uncheck "normalize" when rendering, shouldnt that fix it?

They are called intersample peaks.
