MD: Recording level / Playback level

2001-01-29 Thread Orange


I've been recording some of my own professional mixes using my MDS-
JB920 and have noticed that the recording level indicator doesn't 
reflect the level of the audio on playback. Sometimes the level will 
peak and flash red (not very often) when recording, although I try 
to prevent that, but on playback the level seems to be one bar below 
and the peak indicator does not light up. This is true for almost 
all levels.

Is there a reason for this? Perhaps to prevent users from recording 
at too high a level.

That's because the red peak indication in record mode is telling you that
your input is too loud, and that any samples over the peak (in the red) will
not/can not be recorded. This is what clipping is; any samples over the red
peak are clipped (discarded). Therefore, when you play back, the highest the
recording can go is up to the peak, but never beyond.
