The output of the CD recorder is routed via AES/EBU to
the LO1 position and meters on the Lewo console.

So you sit and watch the meters for the duration of the recording? What
if you blink your eyes?

:-)))

The meter has a peak level marker, which stays in place until you
cancel it, plus the possibility to assign 98 other levels into memory.

It corresponds exactly with the level indicated by the HHB
CD recorder.

Got one of those, and no way would I trust the information about levels
that I get from it for a question such as the one at hand.

I knew you had. That's why I mentioned it.
What you don't have is the Lewo post-production desk:-)

Biological ears vs. a VU meter...hmmm. I trust my ears, but not always.
Point is that sound perception can change and is not always reliable, even
for those with trained "golden ears." You see, at Iain's work place, the
engineer came in one day with a bad head cold. They couldn't halt production
because his head was all stuffed up so they relied on the VU meter.
Plausible?
