Hi Will!
Very good point. In this case I'm working with a client (you know the ones that pay real money) and I'm just complying to his specifications.
Good to know -3db is safer, will stick with that in my private work.
Thanks
Atte

Just an aside here. I'm in contact with a number of people who who work in
digital recording extensively. Their recommendation is that you should regard
your peak level as at least -3dB due to the potential of inter-sample
peaks. With the headroom available from even 16bit audio, you can go down to
-10dB and still not have any noise issues. To really appreciate this check here:

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
