The Default setting for all of those programs, or plug-ins is to level at 89dB. Perhaps I can offer some clarification about this. The 89dB reference level refers to "Sound Pressure Level" when the audio is played on a SMPTE RP 200 calibrated system. (See: https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/inde...

First, I load the movie onto Xmedia Recode and set the Audio to peak at 91.0 db's. I think you must be misinterpreting the Xmedia Recode instruction, because that make no sense. If the audio signal peaks at +91 dB, it will be massively distorted. If that "91.0 db" (the correct abbreviatio...

if my audio track is 91db Your audio track is not 91 dB. The "track" shows the "signal level", and should always be less than 0 dB. A signal level of 0 dB is full track height, and is the absolute maximum possible signal level for integer format audio (such as an ordinary 16-bit...

Which version of Audacity?

Is there any setting in audacity or my soundcard that could be triggering this? There's no setting in Audacity, because it is not Audacity that's changing levels. I've never seen sound card settings related to this - it just seems to be something that some sound cards (notably Sound Blaster cards) ...

I'm not sure how the normal option is considered safer if it overwrites without making a backup copy... Normal "copy in" importing is safer for Audacity projects. With the "faster" type of import, the audio data is not copied into the project, so the integrity of the project rel...
