The volume of a vocal recording As a rule, it should be such that it can be easily understood without you having to shout or whisper loudly. It's important that the recordings are loud enough to be comfortable to listen to, but not so loud that they become uncomfortable or cause distortion. The peak limit refers to the maximum volume that can be reached in a recording before distortion occurs. This limit will be in decibels (dB) measured and depends on the quality of the recording and playback devices. Usually the peak limit for a vocal recording should be between -XNUMX and -XNUMX dB to avoid distortion. However, it's important to note that these recommendations are guidelines, and the optimal volume and peak limit should be determined individually for each recording.
