I'm sorry, as I said, I was just trying to help. Give me a break!
Chris.

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.
