Sigh.... That eternal 3 dB confusion... You could just as well say that X,Y,Z are boosted by 3 dB, and W is 'nominal'. So no, it doesn't matter. This is a *relative* gain difference between W and X,Y,Z. If you take the level of W as the 'overall' signal level (makes sense since it is the mono mix), then it is what it is. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
