That means, in order to retain all the details, you would need to process and running everything extremely hot (high in level)ģ2bit floating point is done a little different. Your recording will be much noisier, because you now have only 42dB of dynamic range. If you lower the gain of your file for 100dB, and bring it back up, you have effectively truncated your recording to 7bits. but that also means that at lower amplitudes, you have less bits to represent your value.įor example, if you record so your meters are hitting -48dB, you're effectively recording at 16bits. Mostly all DAWs and plugins work at 32bit floating point internal precision, so you don't degrade your sound quality during your processing.Ģ4bit fixed means every sample is made out of 24 ones and zeroes or, 16,777,216 possible different values per sample. Now before I continue, I highly recommend a book by Nika Aldrich - Digital Audio Explained, because he explains it much better. In the third picture you can see the calibration of the VU meter and the red needle that really confuses me because it shouldn't even be reaching 0dBVU, once again, considering the DAW's output level. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I thought - 18 dBFS would equal to 0 dBVU, something that btw would equal to + 4 dBU on analog equipment right.? I'm trying to figure out why the needle in the VU meter on my compressor, ( also inserted on the mix-bus ), exceeds 0 dBVU even though the digital output level doesn't exceed - 18 dBFS and there's no compression even happening.
( This is sort of tied together with No.1 ). Wouldn't 2.6 and 2.9 on the analyzer be equivalent to a level that exceeds 0dBVU?Ģ. It's set to Peak & RMS.Īm I doing something wrong, or is this something that's not to be worried about? I simply can't understand why I get these peaks on the analyzer considering the level I have on the DAW's output meter. I have my output level on the mix-bus reaching max - 18 dBFS.Īt the same time I get these results ( attachment 2 ), on the analyzer inserted on the mix-bus. Also, please correct me if I've failed to understand certain things/concepts.ġ. I'm new to VU metering and the correlation between dBFS, dBVU and dBU and I'm gonna try to keep this as clean and understandable as I can.
