Default Re: Output Levels

Hate to get on your case.. but where is right.. you need to understand this topic better before you make ridiculous statements like you've made in this thread. Every digital system is calibrated either by the user or at the factory to a reference to zero VU (1.228Vac) with a 1 kHz tone. This is defined as the reference level of the unit - some manufacturers choose -14dBfs = 0VU and others choose -18dBfs = 0Vu and others choose -20dBfs = 0Vu. Obviously if you take signal from a unit calibrated at -14dBfs and transfer it to a unit calibrated -20dBfs there'll be a difference in gain.

Pro Tools gives you unity in and out at the specified reference level as documented... just as every other DAW does.
