which you judge by listening not looking at meters. Running hotter can make sense if you are trying to get specific results out of colorful preamps, not going to help you with modern clean preamps, and can make it much worse with cheap preamps, even without the ADC clipping. you can pull that back further (try more like ~-16dBFS) and make up levels later. use dBFS numbers) and risk transient clipping. In future when you are tracking: There is just no reason with modern ADCs to need to record at say -6dBFS (but again we have no idea exactly what you are looking at and what 'orange' means. if it's actually too hot/clipped the only full fix for that is to rerecord the audio. Gmail has grown phenomenally over the last decade, particularly from those early days when access to Google’s huge portfolio of primarily free applications and tools required a Gmail address. Make sure you are lowering the preamp gain, not the pro tools fader to address this. How To Avoid Gmail Clipping Andrew Fernandez Marketing Strategist. to be anal-retentive it is the input ADC clipping that the meter can show, not the preamp analog clipping. make sure you are using pre fader metering on the input track and legacy meters. Pre or post fader, and what meter types?.
