Hi!
I am helping to code small sound editor and we will have waveforms.
However, we need to know what constitutes too loud, aka after how much
dB we can do a cut off in waveform and putting red stage in mixer? Any
hints how everyone is dealing with this?
Already thanks for any clues,
Peter.

I thought 0db, but I really don't know...

In the digital world, everything above the available integer-range (on input
and output) makes distortion. As this int-range is normally converted to the
double/float-range [-1,1], abs(signal) == 1 is normally considered as 0dB and
all the volume is measured in negative deziBel.
But in the gui I wouldn't cut off the values. It can very well be that the
mixing-stages after the guis data are scaling/limiting the signal to values
in the valid range. Just make them red so everyone is aware of the potential
problems...
Have fun,
Arnold
