I am not sure what all those conversations are all about. No one argue that a recording shell not hit 0dB and it was no my objective to prove it. The point that I was trying to make is that Wavelab meter did measure the right amplitude and the file is clearly indicate some clipping. However, during recording the Pacific “Digital IN” meter did not indicated that I hit 0dB. The Pacific’s meter is corky. At high resolution mode, when Pacific does 0.1dB, it works from -6dB to -21dB but for whatever reasons I can’t not see in high resolution mode the last 6dB. I use Lavry AD122’s high precision generator and swiped the Pacific-Lynx tandem. The Lynx measure looks like with absolute the same accuracy as Lavry outputs. I was trying to recalibrate the Pacific meters. Pacific shows 0dB at 0dB but I was not able to recalibrate it’s overload setting as Lavry doesn’t not outputs more than 0dB digital.

The whole story is that I would like do not record at -12 to -24 db but to have the max peak at minus 1dB -2dB. This is how I record my FM but in there it is easy as the signal is already pre-limited in the station. The LP transfers are way less limited so I need much more manageable control over the last 1-2dB. I would like to have a full Pacific 64-led meter with 0.1dB resolution and covering the last few decibels. That control is something what I am after.
