Turn off HiQ. Also, you don't have any devices on the Master, right? Just double checking.

also while im here why is the limmitr set at -0.3?? if i crank up the master to +0.3 to get the waveform hitting 0.db what will happen?

It will now be 0.3dB louder.

No it doesn't.

Using a limiter preset that's set to -0.3 I am guessing? Perhaps to prevent clipping when doing conversion to MP3 after export?
