  2. Slight unrelated, but where is Andertons avatar from? I'm sure I've seen it somewhere before... Al
  3. This is what I thought. Whats even better is that I'm actually doing a paper on ADDA conversion (amongst other things tomorrow, so this is a great way to revise!) So when I look at a manufactuers website and it says "Input/Output level at 0 dBFS @ +4 dBu: +13 dBu" does this mean that I should be targetting my levels to that particular converter at -13dbFS in Pro Tools meters? How does a piece of equipments dynamic range relate to this? Thanks muchly. Al
  4. Interesting. So how does this relate when people saying things like "24bit has loads of headroom" etc. Trying to get a handle on this in my head, cheers Al
  5. This is great, really helpful to all who replied. Muchos gracias When you refer to a converter's 0dbVU being at -18dbFS, does that basically mean that -18dbFS is the point at which all the 'bits are used'? I know the myth about having to record hot to fill up the bit depth being rubbish, but for the purposes of dynamic range, so for example wanting as much of the snare drum to tape as possible, would you say that -18dbFS is the point at which you are using all your 'bits', or have I misunderstood this? Cheers for help, much appreciated. Al
  6. Hi John, Please could you elaborate on this some more for me? I'm trying to polish my mixing and engineering technique, so this is something I really want to get a handle on. I've always recorded as hot as possible without clipping, and always pulling down my master fader to balance things out. However, I've lately realised the error of my ways, and now track with the levels going into PT peaking at about -12db on the channels. Do you (or anyone else) think they could go through in more detail what is actually going on, and what they mean by 18dbfs = 0dbvu etc, as this often confuses me. Cheers Al
