That makes sense, Bill. I disregarded the Full Scale. The program in question is Democracy Now, and we have to boost the volume every day. We also insert underwriting messages in the two breaks of the show, so it can run unattended, but that’s done in an audio editor on a Mac. When I look at the file in RDLibrary / Edit Markers, it does look like the spikes are pretty high, looks good though, just doesn’t move the VU meter as much as some other files. Currently we’re not even using Rivendell live yet, I’m just preparing for it.
