I pushed up the trim till it flutters around 0db on the mackie mixer. everythings good BUT
Readings from my setup.
Totalmix reads around -25dbfs RMS
Cubase reads around -15dbfs peak (doesnt read rms for some weird reason)
and digicheck reads -5db (Vu) peaking at 3 to 4 db.
Now im getting seriously confused here. Am i doing anything wrong anywhere? What should i do to get the meter readings right?
i tried doing it the other way
2) if i played the same -20dbfs pink noise track thru cubase. everything reads fine.
Total mix reads around -19dbfs RMS
Cubase peaks around -25dbfs
Digicheck reads 0db (Vu) and i suppose everythings okay..
BUT i tracked it back out into the mackie mixer and it reads only -10db. Shouldn't it be reading 0db? am i missing something ?
Please help anyone. Appreciate any kind response. Hope im not confusing anyone , tried my best to explain it as clearly as i can. |
hi,
are you shure you RME out's (D/A's) are calibrated right (+4db (studio) instead of -10dbv (consumer)
