Hi, everyone. I'm just trying to get a round-about idea of what the best recording level is in logic.
To put it another way: Should I be aiming for 0 to gt the hottest sound possible? |

The closer you get to 0, the more bits you use to describe the waveform, which is good for digital recording. Bear in mind that you have NO headroom as in analog - you get severe distortion when you go over.
