This is very weird: Using Vegas 6, I edited a long track from a master CD for a compilation disc. I only applied a new fade in-out to make the track the correct time. I rendered the edited version and imported to CDA to burn (I only used CDA for this particular project because I needed the cue sheet–otherwise I simply would have used Vegas to burn). In 3 places where the levels hit zero in Vegas and Sound Forge 8 (exactly as it is in the original master that I ripped it from), CDA increases the level by .1 db thereby causing clipping. This is repeatable with both CDA 5 & CDA 5.2. When I open the file in SF or Vegas, the file never clips anywhere (as it should be). Again, I'm not applying any processing in CDA, nor dither, as its already a 16 bit file from the original master. Unless the meters in CDA are inaccurate, this doesn't make any sense at all . Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?

Thanks,

Update: I tried building another CDA 5.2 session (everything exactly the same as before). I imported the file from explorer and this time, no clipping. I can open the previous sessions in CDA 5 and 5.2 and the clipping remains in these. I'm baffled. . .
