Oh what I meant was if I send a 1 Khz tone to 0 db on my field mixer and would calibrate my Hard Disk recorder to either, -20 or -12 db on the recorder at 24Bit 48 K/hz.

Thats interesting that you can boost whisper scenes +24 on gain; How does the S/N get affected on that, I imagine you would use some sort of noise reduction for the room ambiance of the scene after boosting up the level that much?
