One of the problems I've confronted during mastering
is JAMin, Ardour and hardware meters tell me that a
track is peaking around -0.5db but the hardware mixer
indicates overload. Of course metering balistics being
what they are this is understandable. The mixer
documentation doesn't tell me at what level the
overloads are set to go off at and I haven't found a
configuration interface.
My TC M*One XL reverb manual says:
The OVERLOAD LEDs indicate one of two situations:
- The Input level is too hot and therefore overloading.
- There is an internal DSP overflow.
The Overload LED is lit when 1 sample is @ -1dBFS.
So JAMin is being honest, but maybe your desk is playing safe.
Cheers for yet another interesting thread!
