Avoid 0db? Pls, if you aren't redlining, you aren't headlining.

This made me laugh way harder than it should.

Oh huh, I've been adjusting the gain slider on all my audio tracks to increase my volume. I'll probably use select all+amplify now.

In digital tools like audacity, above 0db is straight noise. Whereas in analog mixing gear you can push the redline a bit for some crunch which can sound either good or bad based on how your gear handles it. Most TV broadcast level standards vary from country to country, but is generally in the -9db to -20db range.

I was just joking tho, but I didn't know that was the range TV broadcasts go by so that's pretty cool. I've never been able to get into Audacity, the interface just never agreed with me, I do use it for recording but then I'll throw it into FL or something if I need to change anything.

No worries my dude. I thought you were referring to analog mixing desks, where 0db is usually around -20dbfs so you can actually go over 0db safely. I’m not a big fan of the Audacity interface either. The 90’s called and they want their interface back, Windows 98 is getting lonely. I usually use Reaper for quick home projects and Pro Tools for larger projects myself. But I wanted this to be accessible to everybody. You can use the advice in FL Studio as well, though you may not have the same kind of noise reduction plugin there, a noise gate can do a similar effect.
