I am not an expert on this by any means, but I have recently been playing around with various DRC tools. When you make a correction you are attempting to force the sound profile to fit an ideal curve, maybe flat, maybe harmon curve or some other "ideal". To do this the correction will reduce the voume of peaks and increase the volume of troughs throughout the audio spectrum. Sometimes the increase in a trough maybe too much for the amplifier (or speakers) to handle and can cause clipping. By reducing the overall gain you give the system leeway to increase the volume of the troughs but still to stay under 0db. When you are getting a peak of +2.66db I think that is referring to the amount of boost to a particular frequency that is needed to cancel out a trough, and is a guldeline to the overall gain that you should be applying to avoid peaking over 0db. i.e. -2.68db. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ foxesden's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56286 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99132 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
