amiracam Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 so I'm my UAD Console my levels for a guitar signal hover between 9 - 12 db, on LPX after arming the track for record. my peaks there hit -14db, however playback of the recording shows my peaks at -19db. Why the discrepancy ? Should I then be in the practice of overshooting my levels on tracking ? or should I just do some make up gain e.g. gain plugin ? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 on LPX after arming the track for record. my peaks there hit -14db, however playback of the recording shows my peaks at -19db. Why the discrepancy ? You are comparing your recording level (peaks at -14 dBFS) with your playback level (peaks at -19 dBFS). Is the volume fader on 0? Are there any plug-ins on the channel strip? Both of those would affect the playback level (but not the recording level). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
