Dude, I was kidding. Moving the decimal one place to the left or
right is very basic!

I admit, Chris, it was a little confusing at first when I heard his
explination. Basically, I am not sure if you were being sarcastic
about math being difficult, or if you were serious. I'm gonna
assume the ladder.
So, look at t it this way... Let's say you have a double digit
decimal DB value. Let's use 12 just for example. So, forget for a
minute it being negative, or positive. Don't worry about
that. Just for now look from the bigger picture. Take the number
12, in general. 12 could also be written as 12.0.
So, 12.0 is no different than 12. Only thing is, with 12.0, we now
have a decimal place. So just move that decimal one place to the
left. So instead of 12, you now have 1.2. So think of it this way,
and this is what really helped me grasp it. The decimal needs to be
in between the two digits. So, say you needed -16DB. That's kind
of low, but just humor me here. So, what makes up 16? 1, and 6,
right? 16's written as 1 6. So, put a decimal between those two
digits. So, -16DB on the PT 11 meters would equal -1.6DB.
Hopefully, that makes sense.
Chris.

But but, math is difficult. LOL

Guys,
As I mentioned a few days ago, it's an issue with the way the
meter is displaying only 14.4 dB of range. Between version 10 and
11, the meter display changed and, as I mentioned before, it's
something that needs to be fixed. Think of everything as being one
decimal spot off. In other words, if you get a reading of -2 dB,
what the meter is really saying is -20 dB. If you're shooting for
-15 dB, make sure your meter reads -1.5 dB. Move the decimal one
spot to the right in your mind. If anybody wants to verify, create
a track with a signal generator putting out a tone at -20 dB and
check the meter on the track and you'll see that it displays -2.0.
Adjust the output of the signal generator and it'll follow the
behavior I've outlined above.

exact model, as it was donated to me by a studio in my area which
is going out of business unfortunately, however I have some form
of a Scarlet. I think it's made by Focusright. Anyway, I can
confirm with this interface that like Christopher, I too am seeing
the same problem with my meters in PT11. I'm not getting
identically the same readout as he obviously, but it's definitely
showing a much hotter signal than what I know beyond a doubt is
coming in. In PT10, like Christohper, I do not have this situation
either. My meters read fine over there. So, Slau, with the utmost
respect, I think you saying there are things Christopher doesn't
yet understand is a little bit harsh. I earnestly don't think
Chris is doing anything wrong. If he is, then why am I also having
the same problem with a completely different interface, not even
made by the same manufacturer? That just seems a bit odd to me
that this would be opporator error. I can't speak for Christopher,
but I can tell you from my part at least that I'm not doubting
your experience nor credibility, and if I implied in any way that
I did, I apologize. I just find it coencidental that he's having
this issue, and that I am as well.
