I am a little bit confused.

I took the signal generator from my DAW,1khz sine wave,
Put the signal to -20db, panned it hard left, and the VU input section of the device is reading -7 db VU (all controls normalised)
I can't even trim the meter to come to 0 db VU
The meter can go small increments up and down.
Am I doing something wrong ?

DAW(cubase internal signal generator) 1khz sine -20 db panned left going to input of the compressor with normalised settings. The readout is somewhere around -7 and the meter lets me tweak it maximum +-1 db
So I am not sure if I left out any of the steps...
