    Is this normal audio meter behaviour? Seems a little funky to me...

      I've seen some strange audio metering behaviour in the past so delved into it a little...

      I created a sequence with two 'standard' tracks and cut in mono tone to both tracks.

      I panned A1 to the left (in the clip mixer) and A2 to the right

      I increased the gain on the A1 clip by 10dB for identification purposes.

       

      When I mute A2 I get the following on the meters:

      A1---appears-on-A1-only.png

       

      and everything appears as I would expect. A1 is a stereo track, but is panned left so only has audio showing on the left leg - and this is replicated on the A1 track mixer meter and on the master output meter on both the track mixer and the main meters. All good so far.

       

      When I unmute A2 and mute A1 I get the following:

      A2---appears-on-A2-only.png

      again all as expected, this time on the right leg.

       

      When I unmute A1 and listen to both tracks I get the following:

      a1-and-2-appear-on-all-meters.png

       

      Now the master output metering is correct but I do not understand why the right leg of A1 clip & track mixers are showing level, nor the left leg of A2. Bug?
