Did you note the simultaneous -12 dB track just in case you went
overboard on the gain? Like, brilliant.
That's a fairly common feature of handheld recorders these days.
Brilliant is how the Sony PCM-D50 handles "overs." It's always recording
a backup stereo track 10 dB or so below the primary recording.. When it
detects an overload, it automatically replaces the overloaded portion
with the backup track and normalizes it so that it goes to full scale,
but not clipped. It's the perfect limiter. I wish they could put it in a
box with analog inputs and outputs.
