Saturn default output volume -1db

just noticed that both vst and au (both in live 9, au in logic x) have -1 db as the default output upon instantiation.

sorry if this has already been brought up.

Hi Jim,

That's correct. This is because the default saturation that is introduced increases the loudness, and the -1 dB compensates for that. So in short: insertion Saturn on a track shouldn't change the perceived loudness :-)

Note that you can customize this by overwriting the Default Setting preset if you want (click Options > Save As Default in the presets menu).

Cheers,
