Re: New Firmware - no read-only scenes




Digital simply has no soft clip.  With an analog circuit, gently pushing the levels past 0db could impart some gentle and pleasing distortion.  Push digital past 0db and you get pops, clicks, snaps and sometimes what sounds like a thermal core meltdown alarm.  The trick is to aim for around -3db for the most part and you are fine.  On most modern digital consoles the mix engine does a great job so as long as you make sure you are not clipping individual channels with too much gain you should be fine.
