Well, let's see. I was just transferring wavelab, and I hit at least 20 bounces off the red light last night. Wavelab reports that I had clips on two occasions and that was all....none of which you can hear, and were most certainly crash cymbal od kick drum hits since I was taping on-stage! I would say you have a good bit of room to run with the mme. I usually start at around 12 o clock and work my way down or up within the first 4 minutes or so of music. I like to get the -2 yellow lights popping fairly frequently, with occasional bounces off of red. I have jacked the unit all the way up a couple times just to hear what it sounds like on house music etc and still haven't clipped it to the point of me being able to hear it. I have a fairly decent playback system now, so I would/should hear them if they are there! How are you liking the mme anyway? Good match with the 480's? If you have anymore experience related questions about the mme, feel free to ask!
