standard null test .
this test was done in this sequence.
all test done and bounced at 44.1 and 24 bit.
1.octorex wired direct to io and bounced to give original source bounced as above.
2.octorex wired to input 1 on 14.2 mixer and 14.2 mixer wired direct to io and bounced as above.
3.octorex wired to input 1 on 6.2 mixer and 6.2 mixer out wired direct to io and bounced as above.
4.octorex wired to reasons mixer channel and wired to io and bounced as above.
all files re imported and null test done .
on this test I did straight null first lot of clips.
second lot of clips with gain on all maxed.
third lot all gains to lowest.
(colours of clips are the different stages in above order).
all nulled but show a problem with automation spikes on big meter...
file is here for reference (reason 9 file).

I looked strangers file and agree there is something going where the gain is raised to show what is going on under reasons big meter floor .
I see nothing wrong in the routing and at unity on his file it nulls but at boosted gains you can see and if you turn up your system to full like I did its definitely very very audible. not shure how loud you can go your end but mine can go pretty damn loud so it was loud enough to have to turn it down when inverted with the gains boosted.
unless selig has an answer to the even gain boost creating this I'm at the conclusion there is more going on at the low floor levels under reasons radar.
hence also why izotope meter tap and other programs can register this as well as they go a way lot lower than reasons big meter can go.
so on standard reason null test all seems good until gains are raised to show the abnormalities lying below.
an update please add two selig gains to each channel and boost them each to 24 db ie in total to each channel 48db gain.
why because it confirms strangers tests . the gain increase by adding just the 48db gain you can clearly see on my file it has a signal coming through on the big meter with the increased gain case closed for me
unless selig or anyone can argue or prove the fact that the extra gain on my properly done null test file is wrong
