Well, I was assuming you are recording with ardour, timemachine or
some other jack-based app. These use float internally and at least the
first two also save to disk in float-format. Which means that 32bit
are 32bit regardless if you are near to 0 or using the whole -1..1
range.
And as float-format means x.xxxEyy you won't loose any quality if the
. moves forth and back...
But as I said, I prefer hot levels too. And float-format also helps
for this as you don't get overflows in the normal audio-range which
means you can save files where amplitude goes beyond -1..1-range. You
should limit/scale that on playback though...

Wenn man mit Raubkopien Bands wie Brosis oder Britney Spears wirklich
verhindern könnte, würde ich mir noch heute einen Stapel Brenner und
einen Sack Rohlinge kaufen.

i think, recording at low level,
you are kind of "loosing disc space".
lets say, if you are recording at 24bit, on low level the signal
information will take only 12 bit (example) and the rest of 12 bit will
be only empty data information.
don't think that one can repair that with some gain plugin or
normalization... As many of you will know I principally use
ZynAddSubFX to generate most
of my sounds, so I can't really be sure if this is a Zyn problem or a
general one with software synths and mixing.
Very occasionally I get high amplitude spikes typically 6dB above the
'normal' peaks. These give a false idea of the signal level so that if
I'm not watchful I end up recording at a much lower level that I need
to.
Whats the problem with recording at lower volume? As long as there is
no da/ad involved you won't have any quality-loss.
But I prefer to work with hot-signals too. ;-)
