Commercial records clip at 0dB or 6dB? (Maximizing Song Volume)

[rocstarr328]

If a chick tells you "come take this azz for a ride" you don't say "actually that's your vagina", you don't say "how can I physically take a part of your anatomy and travel from on point to another with it?" and you damn sure don't hop in a car. Sometimes you guys are overtechnical for no reason at all.

That was one of the best and on the point analogies I've seen so far on FP. People are always talking about cars and how it doesn't drive without gas and all that old stuff, I'm really wondering how you came up with that creative analogy lol...

[illapino]

you are using FL, right?

I'm talkin about the Peak Meter

"Peak Meter" now?
lol
Does it say peak meter somewhere in FL?
I feel like I'm missing out here ...

"Meter at the top", "upper meter", "peak meter"
lol .......................................

[Straight]

lol or not it IS called peak meter

with an effort to write your last 3 posts you could easily find that

if you roll the mouse over it, it shows "Peak Meter"

maybe try to find it instead of posting

[illapino]

ok sorry. i'll look for it, but i don't recall that exact name ... thanks

theres alot of confusion in this thread
Boosting to 0db is an art use waves L2 or Izotope Ozone and not fruity limiter

[deRaNged 4 Phuk'dup]

Fruity Limiter is just as capable if you know how to use it.

[J4YM5]

It can be used but i personally don't like the way it saturates when reaching the threshold, Isotope has an almost a vintage valve driven sound when it is limiting and the L2 is gr8 for simple transparent yet impressively high gain.

[deRaNged 4 Phuk'dup]

The saturation can be controlled. There are other limiters(Nomad Factory comes to mind)that boast about these capabilities. I think it's more about what the person behind the tools wants. I could just as easily argue that the L2 isn't as "transparent" as the L3 or that both fall short to products by Sonnox and UAD..but that would all be opinion when everything being discussed is capable of doing the job at hand well in the right hands...including the Fruity Limiter.

I'm confused on why it is so difficult to boost to 0 dbfs. You can normalize and you're at 0 dbfs. I don't think that's what you meant but it's hard to clarify confusion with further confusion. I also don't see the point of bumping an old thread just to bash a limiter.

FL gives you 6 dB headroom.

+6dB on FL's master meter equals 0dBfs

if you amplify it even more, then it'll be distorted, because you can't go above 0dB (on the meter its +6dB)

never heard this before but now it makes a whole lot of sense
