Hello!

I've got a technical question. I'm pretty new to home recording, and I've got a job with some specific technical requirements that doesn't want any processing/mastering that I'm having trouble with.

Peaks no higher than -6 dBFS; no clipping

Average roughly -18 dBFS RMS

Noise floor at or below -60 dBFS.

All very reasonable requirements, but I would usually get there with some normalisation etc etc. They need the raw WAV files.

I'm having trouble recording- if the RMS is right, the peaks are too high. If the Peaks are low enough, the RMS is far too low. Does anyone have any advice?

I'm using Reaper, Focusrite Scarlett Solo and a Rode NT1.
