Re: What is line level audio?

I'm sure it would be more for classical. Modern music is so compressed that
you have very little in the way of dynamics, so there is probably not a
whole lot of difference between the average and the actual peaks. Classical
is much more dynamic, and so would have some VERY loud peaks at the peaks.

3dB doesn't surprise me for modern music at all.
Try it with some classical !
===================================
If you are not surprised, then you must have given some thought to how
much difference exists between the rms and average for various
waveshapes or musical styles. I have no idea if the avg would be MORE
db above the rms or LESS for classical. Do you have a prediction? Maybe
I can make a cmd line version of my wave analyzer, and we can both run
it?
