Follow me, by doing a session like the one I've done for the dat transfer with only a stereo track and a stereo master track with the stereo track directly routed to the master track without any plugs in the chain, I've noted that sometimes the overled of the stereo track while those on the stereo master don't. Is it possible that inside the same DAW the meters of the recording tracks are calibrated different than those of the master, and aux channels?
Hmm... not too sure about this. The PTLE has a very slight issue with it's calibration of the meters wrt the final truncated output (this is because the mixer is running float but the output must be fixed). This means that an app like the Oxford limiter will red light very slightly before the PTLE meters - because the limiter is measuring the correctly truncated fixed point output.

Also some intermediate versions of PT TDM seemed to have meters that were measuring the top 16bits of a 24bit signal (for a while until they apparently fixed it). We had an issue with this when designing the inflator.

But I personally have not seen exactly what you are describing, but I would not rule out the last of these issues.

Are you running LE or TDM?
