Hi Lads Sunday, 18 October 2020
Have been using JRiver on and off since Version 17 , I recently upgraded from MC 22 to MC 27
I am not Software engineer or Computer nerd but do like simple easy to use programs with good easy to read Visual graphics .
I was playing back a series of 2Ch Music tracks (songs ) and concerts and noticed one music track was distorting severely
I found there is no QUICK way ( visually ) Monitoring if your sound signal is over driving ( clipping ) or if you have accidentally turned up the Level to high
and over driving your computer and / or the external Amplifier
# the DSP Studio Analyzer is fine but is no good for visual L&R Level Monitoring
With Level meters you can instantly " see " on the Fly " if its a poor recording or you have set your master Levels to high for play back
# So , J river technical department ,
What about a face lift , a NEW look with J river MC 27 , stereo Digital sound level meters for at the top of the Screen for Sound Monitoring ?? option
Option 1 = is existing L&R Spectrum level display for " multi channel and stereo sound "
Option 2 = Stereo Digital level Meters for Music Or Movie 2Ch or 2Ch downmix playback
Meter range say 0dBFS. to - 70 dBFS. L & R ( Led - Horizontal bar graph with 2db segments )
# where 0dBFS. = J River System , ' Digital Zero " system reference ( maximum level )
# When working with 24-bit digital systems, it makes absolute sense to maintain a very similar gain structure and headroom, for both technical and operational convenience.
That means building in typically about 20dB of headroom above the nominal signal level, with most peaks reaching no higher than about -10dBFS
Q. What are the reference levels in digital audio systems? see >
