In the past, I've looked closely at the meters with each type of Pow-R applied, and only type 3 shows any noise at all. There won't be any numbers I can measure before the start of next week, and the visual resolution of Pro Tools meters isn't fine enough to get exact numbers. I'll use Inspector.

There is at least one instance of an intentionally noisy (tape delay) plug-in - massey's TD5, used as the delay on guitar tracks. With TD5 in the mix, the noise level without dither will already be fairly high, but I don't care because the plug-in sounds great. Anyway, the delay on those tracks is muted when the guitar is not playing so there is really more than one noise reference.

What do you expect to ascertain from knowing the noise level? Thanks.
