Re: Proper Recording Level Questions!
The important thing for people to understand is that in digital audio you want to always error on the low side of levels. This is in spite of teachers, books, magazine articles and software manuals that have been ignorantly parroting nonsense about losing bits for a couple decades.

Re: Proper Recording Level Questions!
"Losing bits" and "losing resolution" are the most used terms by people that like to record hot signals.
None of them will be able to musically or audibly describe or discern a piece of audio that has "lost" bits or "lost" resolution, and how it sounds. Most of them are sure that because they raised the input levels to the DAW their music sound "fatter" and "warmer", when all they did was to make it LOUDER - what can be easily achieved by raising the MONITOR LEVEL.

Re: Proper Recording Level Questions!
Make sure your cables have good insulation, so the bits don't leak out
