Hi,
Some had responded here to my recent inquiry on levels that dBFS is a
peak measurement.
If an RMS measurement needs to be made for a digital signal (i.e., on a
digital mixing console or a ProTools plugin), what units are utilized? I
thought they were dBFS, i.e., that dBFS was an RMS measurement.
Apparently I am incorrect. Somebody please set me straight.
dBFS answers the question "by how many dB must the signal be increased
for the highest peak to hit full scale"? I think that should answer it
for you.
