When recording, don't let the VU meters go into the red area, as that will cause distortion.
I was told that when purchasing my first cassette deck in the 70's. It resulted in a lot of low volume tapes.
Thats correct with a proper explanation and the seller was right
. What they wanted to convey was signal should peak in red zone on your meters but not ride the redline in a constant way. It is going to be distorted if you go too far and for the best sound with cleanest dynamics you want to peak in the red for also a nice level of output.
