With the V3 I run it hot, always pushing it, I never understood normalizing the sound after wards, get it while your there, more natural, less fucking with it.

The only diversion I have had from this is acoustic show taping...which can be an issue when the crowd gets loud at the end of a song

That's why I like the soft limit feature on the MiniMe.

I'm also a Hot Boy! Just like Brian S., I like to hit "over" a few times a song.

Like reaching into the yellows on the 500e on most of the time, with the reds coming on once or twice a song.  If the mix is on and the compression works, it sounds great.  Other times (ABB last night comes to mind) it's hard to get it dialed in.

If recording in 16 bit it is very important to push levels as high as possible this link explains in detail.

Great link.  BTW, I am loving the hypers...especially indoors.  My bsico midx tape is a testament to that for sure!

I ran extremely hot last night....very quick, faint blinks on the SBM, no registered overs on the DAT meter that I was watching...sounds great.  Will have to report back if the .wav tells me anything different!

Very hot.  Lately I've just been using the levels meters on the V3.  I try to get it hitting -3db, but usually have a few overs during a show.

just put the AD-20 through its paces tonight for a comparison to how i usually run more conservatively and i must say, oh what a difference, its hot for me from now on, -2 really makes or brakes the sound quality

Agree with the UA-5ers.  I run my with the light coming on just briefly(no continuous on) during louder parts.  Very rarely get any clips on the D7 that way.

500e has soft limit stock.

I'm not sure what the hell I was talking about... I think it had something to do with the "compression" (if that's the right word) in the PA that keeps the dynamic range smaller and the SPL out of the system fairly constant.  That is compression, right?
