I was reading on bluebear's website about the signal level between analogue and digital. This is not new news to me by any means but I started looking into it further. All the sites say that you need to push the analog gear up to get near 0db on digital meters. But if 0db on analogue gear has about 24db of headroom left (on good gear) and if you want to leave head room on your digital gear then wouldn't you want the 0db analogue to match about -24 on your digtal gear. All the sites say to push up the signal as close to 0db (digital) as possible, but that seems to leave no head room.
-24db is kinda low even for digital. I know i have read everyone saying -12db to -6db is a good place to keep the signal. So you woudln't want to push your analogue gear in the +4 or more just to match it to 0db on the digital gear. You want it to match at less.
I just find it odd that none of the places online come to this final conclusion.
Would this be correct thinking?
