Hi, everyone. I'm just trying to get a round-about idea of what the best recording level is in logic.
To put it another way: Should I be aiming for 0 to gt the hottest sound possible? |

The other school of thought believes that you can also pull a hot signal back when mixing. However, if you record something at -18dB and then boost it when mixing, you haven't used an optimum number of bits in the original, so the smoothness of the approximated curve appears more "steplike" when amplified.
Whatever works for you..... |
