sadicus Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 (edited) Somewhere along the way I remember a thread about correctly setting audio levels and -18db was a good setting for headroom. - 18 db was good enough so vst effects would not be oversaturated. In the image the meters show -18db but the Audio wave graphic shows - 39db when zoomed in. and it's gotta really be zoomed in before any sin waves are visible. The levels show -18 db but the audio graphic looks flatlined. Edited May 29, 2021 by sadicus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 When you record do you adjust the level with the fader? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 There's just something not set right in your views. I have never looked at that side bar and I just did and mine totally matches the meters. And another thing is -18 is certainly a bit overly safe. I did some research on the topic a while ago and the general advice is between -18 and - 8 with a target of -12 being the most popular target. I like to use the You Lean loudness meter to see what a whole tracks true peak is as well as the LUFS. I made this video about working with this method. https://youtu.be/8uyZ3ybILvw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
