What I mean, is that I would rather not compress or limit for loudness. I'd rather stay at reasonable levels which to me is -12 rms or thereabouts instead of pushing things up to -8 or wherever, but if everyone else is quite a bit louder then I would be a bit worried that my mixes will sound a little weak to the ones making the decisions.

From what I understand there are limitations on peak levels for tv. radio etc. but what is everyone sending to the libraries and Taxi for instance?

From what I can see, a site like Pump Audio has no mention of levels.

Thanks, Rick
I'm leaving them room to do their thing.
