my mind even though a "dB" label does not exist and the "VU" label is clearly there. I guess a new display mode displaying dB meters would be a nice addition, and take away a lot of the confusion too :) Peter -- pnielsen --

ia.org/wiki/Nominal_level "In consumer level equipment, the nominal level varies, but some standardize to 0 VU = −10 dBV." That makes sense! Thanks, Peter -- pnielsen pnielsen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.c

B digitally as you can in an analog electric signal. I LOVE the retro-style meters, by why can't the dB-values be accurate??? If I spend $2,000 on a digital device, I would expect the designers to have the knowledge to get simple things like this right, or am I missing something? Thanks, P

e 80's, or...?) Assuming it is a bug, can we see this fixed in a future version? (The scale should end at 0dB!) Oh, or maybe this is only a Softsqeeze anomaly!? Does the real transporter show this problem? Thanks, Peter
