I really fail to understand the issue here... I guess you just discovered that different DAW's work in different ways?
Sorry if this sounds harsh but seriously... The master channel on Live is just that: the channel where everything "leaves" the DAW and because it's a channel like any other it works just like any other: sound comes in, goes through any optional effects and leaves.
But inserts... not sure what you mean by that. If you mean added effects then yah, obviously they get processed first; why else would they be on the master channel? If you meant inserts then... no, you can pick for yourself if you want this pre or post where the default is post.
No offense intended but you make it sound as if this is weird somehow, but it isn't. Reason behaves
exactly in the same way. Note that I am referring to adding insert effects to the Master Section. Unless you click 'bypass' they will be used no matter what and the master level will not affect this.
Insert
returns otoh will behave differently, but that too is pretty much the same for Live.
You are right. I made a mistake in thinking. So, in Reason I put Ozone and the loudness meter just before the output to the audio interface. If I now reduced the volume on the master fader, this of course had an effect. And I could send the reduced level to Ozone.
Now, with Aleton Live, I wrongly assumed that effects inserted in the master channel would also be processed after the master fader, which is of course nonsense. I now know that too.
In order to work here with a reduced overall level, a gain utility must be inserted.
