This is concerning rock/pop music.
Is this the correct way of thinking? Or do you want to give yourself some "headroom" on the channel? |
maybe analog recording. This was due to tape hiss and signal to noise. But even with Analog
there are times when you don't want a hot signal. Big misconceptions with hot signal and analog.
Analog meters in the old days were slow. Even if a VU showed -3 it still could have been clipping cuz
the meter was slow to react. This is why plasma meters became popular later
With Digital tracking who cares you can always normalize it later.
