I suffer from trying to learn pro tools on my own and watching you tube.

I've always kind of thought you want to keep any meters out of the "red."

I watched some Waves CLA you tubes the other day and Chris was demoing some of his product. I actually like some of his stuff because it just easy.

Anyway, almost all of his meters on plugins were constantly in the red.

Is this not a thing in the digital world? Is the only concern if the "distortion" lamp lights on the plugin.

I know this is very basic, but a bit confused.

Thanks.
