Ok. And headroom is a GOOD thing.
one sinus tone with 0.775 Volts. (0 VU). recorded wit a converter calibrated to -18dBfs.
Track metering in the daw says: - 18 dBfs.
Then: sinus tone with 0 VU recorded with a converter calibrated to - 16 dBfs.
Track metering says: - 16 dBfs.
???
But this means, I could push the first tone up about 18 dBfs to 0 dBfs before clipping.
Whereas I can push up the second tone only about 16 dBfs to 0 before clipping.
So if I bounce those, the first one will be louder! Although the volts of the two sinus tones were the same, before AD.
I'll try that this weekend, to see if this is right.
If not...why?
So folks recording with a converter trimmed to 0 VU = -20 dBfs, will get louder mixes??
