Hi, I have a question regarding what levels to feed VCC in its default state and while I know to use my ears to judge I was interested in whether my understanding of how it's calibrated is right. I searched around a lot for something that would be similar to my "issue" and while I've learned a lot from it I thought I'd ask specifically here as well.
I've read that feeding VCC something that sits at around -18 rms level should basically have the VU meter in VCC hover around 0 with the default calibration but when I do this with some pink noise that has an rms level of -18 and peak levels of -6 I find that it hovers around +3 on the VU meter.
Again, I could always trim the signal going in but I was curious as to why it seems off and since it's probably a user error I'd be a learning experience to know why.
Thanks in advance
