Much has been written on the subject, but I thought I’d add to the litany of arguments one way or the other.

   Do you know where zero is on your A>D and D>A converters?  Do you know where it is on your analog gear, too?  If not, it’s time to find out, and this entry is to also strongly recommend you go for 0vu = -14dBfs on your converters (aka, “minus fourteen digital”).

   To start, a quick re-cap of the simplest, “how-to” on tweaking your DAW so that 0vu = -14dBs.
