Mixing for film.
So I've set up to do a surround mix and a stereo mix at the same time. I put limiters on the surround busses at -12dB because broadcasters throw a fit when you go above -12dB.

Then I do a bounce like so:

But what I GET is a bunch of levels that look like this:

With the way I thought I had everything set up all those levels should have been -12dB. But those first two tracks LOOK like what I'd think the stereo master should look like (if my calculations using this dB calculator were correct.) http://www.sengpiela...culator-spl.htm
I mean that's the way they should look if the limiter wasn't applied to them.
Is this functionality in Samplitude broken? Does anybody work with surround+stereo masters?
I have this feeling I'm one of like three people who uses Samplitude this way. ;-)
