  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. ;-)

Because I retain the 'source' files, it makes sense for me to produce a
final wav format recording that complements all the others in apparent
volume, so that I can cut a CD directly in any mix of my music without
having to worry about unmatched levels.
