Why? There's no reason or logic in what you just said.

Thanks, Rick
Definitely not. If you leave headroom, both people using the material, as well as broadcasters and others have the option to compress/limit or not. That way you give them a little bit more control (and maybe better sound in the end result).

That said, I have no idea what's normal in that branch of the industry, but I'm sure someone will chime in.

Cheers,
Thor
