Serr - -this is super helpful. In point of fact I felt I was losing a bit (maybe my imagination) when I had to use a lot of gain to bring the mix back up to the level that I heard when I was composing. Your “3 bit” loss….what level would help me avoid that???

It did occur to me that the “-18db rule” had more to do with live recording. But all of the posts mentioning the danger of exceeding 0db on the master are really sinking in.

Vdubreeze – I searched in the manual for “waveform display” but never came across this shortcut. Thank-you so much

Juan r-- your post is very reassuring and I appreciate it a lot.
