in final cut 7 when you go to “window” – “arrange” – “audio mixing” the volume meter goes there up to +12. that’s a +12 above 0. Is that for dB?

Maybe they are talking about 0 dB analog. If that’s the case I asked them what is 0 db analog on the dbfs scale for them.

From FCP Manual

There are several common digital levels used to correspond to 0 dB on an analog meter:

-12 dBFS: This level is often used for 16-bit audio such as DV audio, and for projects with compressed dynamic ranges, such as those for television or radio.
-18 or -20 dBFS: This level is more common on projects with higher dynamic range, such as professional post-production workflows using 20- or 24-bit audio.

I hope this will clear up my confusion.

Thanks to both of you for trying to help.

As a bit of an update, I asked them to tell me in DBFS however, they replied this:

“The peaks on DBFS should be up to 6 DB”

This seems crazy to me, if my peaks are around 0 dbfs, theoretically speaking, my peaks will be distorted. How can they say it’s fine up to 6 DB?

Thanks,
Emanuel

Thanks for all your help.

now DB goes all the way up to +12 right? and dbfs is only up to 0 right?

so that means that 0 dbfs is 0 db right?

Thanks,

0 dbfs you mean, Ty Ford, right?
