Seeing as how the I already know the file is -20dbfs, I saw no need to adjust the gain. I mean, 0 dB in your studio is basically wherever the D/A converter is calibrated coming out of your DAW. Mine were already calibrated to -20 dbfs.
Am I stupid? I didn't even bother looking at the DAW meters when playing the file, I just hit play and made sure all gains were at 0. |
To further the simplicity thing. . . If you add 6db of trim to the file, you're now measuring at K14.
