Hi all
Ok this is digital so it's maybe better at -truth table- sub forum, but also EQ relative...
I was recently hired for -mastering- job only, well I'm not a ME, but I have ear and do the job as good as possible for what is requested...
The point is I usually -master- most of the producing/mixing going out of the room and invest in the basic tool few years ago to export DDP
As 98% of the sound (for me) is done at rec/mix side, the master is usually a very little limiter, basic safety filter, authoring and DDP export or whatever transfert format is requested for the final medium.
For the previously mentioned master, I use the Filter/EQ plugin of my tool (I won't name it for now...) more than before and realise strange behaviour with the meter (peak sample ?) at input vs outpout
With only a simple low cut at 30Hz (whatever order) and Q at 12 (which seem non resonant by visual graph and ear) my output meter show peak louder than input meter ?!?
I forward this observation to the dev, thinking of a bug in the peak in/out detection and coding, and the answer is:
Is there something I'm missing ?!?
Non resonant high or low pass should result in lower output level (full range) !?! at least in analog world ?
Cheers

With each filtering, individual samples and thus also the peak value can be higher than before. This is completely normal.
