As the other posts say, best to avoid any template solutions (ie 'make it a +6'). I'm thinking they used the '+6' term as derived from vinyl mastering where *generally* a +6dbvu transfer (0vu=+4dbm) is the loudest transfer thats practical. If this guess is right then +6 would mean 'maximum'........

Cheers,

Erik
