Default Re: Metering Classic vs Sample Peak

What he said.

First consider that a 24bit fixed-point wav file has 144dB theoretical dynamics. Then take a close look at your converter specifications. If it says it has 124dB dynamics (that would be a good one), then you lose nothing if your levels PEAK at 124-144=-20dBFS which would be a nice headroom for occasional transients higher than the meter ballistics can show you.

Yellow is the new red.
