We may ask: what is the difference between a plot in dBFS, dBu, dBV or
dBxx scale?
Indeed we will find some kind of factor between the units, something
like 1 full scale = f1 * voltage = f2 * sound pressure level = f3 *
another reference (f1..= factors).
Now in the logarithmic domain a value x mul
Hi Linda,
Ross nailed it on his comments in general (the most basic of which is "out of
the ones you mention, dBFS is the only one that has any meaning in the digital
domain"), I'm left with a couple of comments:
To your first question, it would be easier if you pointed to particular graphs

Thank you for the replies.
What I am interested in is:
Why and under what circumstances is it advantageous to set up the Y axis
as dbFS rather than dbV, dbSPL, or a linear scale? If you use a dB scale
that is referenced to the lowest volume rather than to the loudest level,
then the issues of a
