Simon,

0 dB in Rivendell is 0 dBFS (Full Scale) the highest value that can be 
represented digitally. 0 dBFS is +18 dBVU (or +20 if you're SMTPE). So the 
default normalization Rivendell uses (-13 dBFS) is already +5 dBVU. 

To go to +3 dBFS you need to make a 16 bit AtoD converter take 17 bits. 😀
