I guess I meant a scale where 0dbFS = +/-1, like the sample values we play with in JSFX.

I was mostly kidding though because I think the whole sine vs square thing is absurd. Reapers meters are correct. Anything else is silly. The peak to RMS ratio of a sine wave is irrelevant. I want to know the actual DR of MY waveforms.
