Input Level vs. Output Level

[MrFret]

My playback level meter is about half the level of the recording input level meter. Any ideas why? This is recording in low latency and without.I can't judge how high to record now.

Output level is relative to fader position, dynamics inserts, etc.

Hope this is helpful.

When input channel faders are at unity gain (0dB) with a sine wave signal of 0dBFS, the master (with fader at 0dB) meter will be -6dBFS (headroom for accumaltive gain).

Hey Lowfreq.. where's my room calculations you were gonna hook me up with? haha.
