In the Level Meter view, Peak level measurement has shown that the level has only reached digital 0.
However, in the totalizer view, the meter next to the multi-band view has shown that the levels were "OVER".
And the value shown in the dialogue box has also shown that it is "OVER"
Is it really "over" or is it simply reached digital maximum "Zero"?
Or, are there any sign for "over" in the Level Meter view?
Anyone has ideas? many thx~
Several consecutive 0 dBFs readings are interpreted as "Over" here.

i am sorry ..... but i am new to digital audio theory.
i want to ask more~
Is that several consecutive 0 dBFs readings are defined as Over/Clip?
Is it the audio industry standard? Or, is it the interpretation of RME?
BTW, most of the serious recordings have their maximum in -0.1 dBFs as I read from the digicheck.
However, I noted that recently ..... some of the recordings have started to push the meter into "over".
I just wonder is it theoretically correct or not, or, any other comments?
That's why I want to know more on "over" in the level meter view.
Hi k8l-64! I can only recommend the book "Mastering Audio" by Bob Katz... Or start off googling "loudness war"... 
Best,

Is it really so hard to discover the comprehensive online help of DIGICheck?
Found~
Levels higher than 0 dBFS: Over without an Over
"The highest bit is the highest bit, a full scale sample can't be surpassed. The display OVR for Over (overload) is therefore activated after a certain number of consecutive full scale samples. This method has been used from the beginning of digital audio, especially in mastering devices and in CD manufacturing."
thx mc~
Just never thought the digicheck menu will be as comprehensive as a digital audio textbook~
