No individual track or master out should clip. If an output goes over 0 dB you have too lower the level somewhere. Individual tracks are allowed to go over 0 dB. The 32 Bit floating point processing of Logic has a huge headroom. I guess you will never be able to reach the upper limit. Although you could internally go much higher than 0 dB, you would render the level meters useless. I agree, it is a good mixing style to keep everything below 0 dB. 0 dB is the absolute limit on all outputs, including I/O plugins which go to external hardware. ___ Peter Ostry ----------------------------------------------------------------- LUG Group Buy for Serato's Pitch n' Time LE until June 14th!
