Mastering above 0 DB? - Gearspace.com

I took a 16 bit file with a 0db peak level, converted it to 32bit then increased the level by 3db. This is the only way i could get the meter on Inspector to read above 0db.

Of course if the mastering engineer is working all ITB then it might not be such a concern.

Strategies for a loud mix/master. (that still sounds good). With digital files clipping at 0dB there is an inherent limitation that we have to work against. There is only so much musical information we can fit into a file and that cutoff point is the 0dB ceiling. Once a track is exported to a WAV or AIFF file, any information that is higher ...
