TDM recording level

Hi,
I think I noticed a difference in sound when recording at different levels.
How much "yellow" do you guys allow? On a vocal, for instance, just a tiny bit on the peaks (I think this sounds better), or some more than that?

Thanks

Re: TDM recording level

What does the VU meter on your buss send or mic-pre/compressor say?
I input at 0dB VU. I think it sounds better.

Re: TDM recording level

When I record at 24 bit I always allow 6 to 10 dB of headroom . Its not a vU matter because that depends on how you calibrated your interfaces. My system is calibrated at 0 vU = +4 dBU = -20 dBFS.
Everything sounds great ! http://duc.digidesign.com/ubb/images/icons/smile.gif
