Track volume suddenly low

[bdjones72]

I have been working on a project and suddently a single track became severely low in volume.  All of the other tracks are exactly as they had been, but the lead vocal track has no volume.  The waveform looks identicle and when I play the track back the output meter is reading in the -6 to -3 dB range as the other tracks are, but I can barely hear the track.  I'm unceratin what I may have done and thus far have had no success in figuring out the situation.  Can anyone offer suggestions of what to look for?

Is the audio track routed to a bus? If so, what is the volume/gain settings on that bus? Are you using the Pro Channel or FX in the audio track or bus? Are any other audio tracks affected by this volume loss?

[bdjones72]

It is not routed to a bus only the Master.  I am not using the ProChannel.  I am using several FX in the track: Compressor, Reverb, EQ andMelodyne.  However bypassing the FX rack doesn't change anything.  This is the only channel that is affected, all other channels volume are fine.

all tracks are routed to the "master"?  as a note, most of the default templates have a buss named "Master". this is routed to the H/W output. 

- is the vocal track gain control set to 0? (or whatever is the correct level)? and your metering for that track is ok (sounds like it is but check it)
- if you solo the vocal track, does the level jump up? (this eliminates other tracks as possibly a cause)
- turn off any sends (or delete them if you added them by accident). perhaps an aux channel was added and is reversed polarity?

What happens if you drag/copy the audio to a new track?

All tracks are routed to the master.

Vocal track gain is set to 0 as are all of the tracks

Soloing the vocal track changes nothing.

No sends were created for any track.  I don't know how to check for an aux channel.

Sounds the same.  I also tried importing the same audio faile to a new track and it too remains at a significantly lower volume than the other tracks.

This is a screen shot of the vocal tracks.  The purple track is the one I am having issues with.  The other two tracks have a normal volume despite the fact that their waveforms are in fact small than the lead vocal track

Is it Melodyne in the FX bin?

What happens if you turn it off?

Good spot.

Melodyne should be used as a Region Fx, not in the Fx bin

Also, it's better from workflow and resources perspectives if you have a single instance of Breverb on its own bus and insert sends on the tracks that need it.
