POWERTRACK RECORDING METER ????? - 03/13/20 06:19 PM
Hi all.
I have had the powertrack pro since the floppy disk days, which I still have.
For all the recording equipment that I have and have had, I have never made head or tails with the recording meter in powertrack.
I record everything as precisely as I can, setting levels from source level, to mixer level, then output lever to record.
Somehow I was never happy with the readout on the view meter and its accuracy, always worried that I am underfeeding or hitting distortion.
Many systems will tell you to stay below amber and stay in green, as bordering on amber is leading into distortion and close to clipping.
How accurate is accurate.
I am sure somebody would know the answer to this in this forum, thnk you.
Regards
Roman
