I agree that this is a good value for many recordings, while for less dynamically music or instruments -3 dBFS should be ok too, not to confuse with the sine vs square situation, regarding to this we need to add -3 dBFS, so at least -6dBFS are usefull, resp. for more daynamic caused by the music or instrument, yes, -20dBFS isn't unlikely, it's a valid headroom. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
