[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8639585, member: 650438"] have you ever analyzed your music? most rap and hip hop music is around -5. pop music is around -12 to -7 EDM around -10 to -5. There is no music out there that has 0 db levels of anything in the recording. You are literally pigeonholing yourself out of proper pre-out signal and overall output if you set your stuff with a 0 db test tone which is completely wrong. Only instance when its okay to do so is when you have a bunch of re-bassed music artists that red line it with -3 to -1 db levels of bass. here's an analyzed spectrum of a random mainstream song. the song is loudest at 49hz at -6.9 db levels. Means even if you set your gains with a - 5 db test tone, you are are still missing out on a lot of output. about 1.9 dbs worth. Now imagine doing it with a 0 db test tone. You literally missed out on 7 dbs worth of bass. [IMG]https://snag.gy/pE6qvP.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
