First off how do you get a accurat level in protools. I brought up a waves metter but it shos the level around -16db. It is hard to tell exaclty. I need to see a number. Is there a reason why the Hedd level is hotter?
please help
thanks
The Hedd is factory calibrated with 12 dB of headroom. The 192 with 18 dB of headroom.

You cannot adjust the headroom of the hedd (I think) an d the factory 192's will allow you to calibrate up to -14 dB.

accurate level in PT : go into calibration mode .... accurate within .1 dB
