Thanks for your comment Carol. Yes, I am talking about the sound level entering the recording device. There certainly is the danger of spiking – usually, the levels are set to achieve maximum volume without spiking.

I know enough about studio recording to fill about 1/4 of a thimble.

By volume, I think you mean the level at which the sound enters the recording device rather than the level at which it is being played on the instrument? In other words, it’s not that the knob on the guitar is cranked to max output, but rather the mixing board is cranked to allow the sound to come in at max input, correct?

What does this do to spiking? Do they just rely on limiters and other gizmos to prevent distortion and so forth?

Again, I know nothing. Thanks for the post. Oh, and I’ve been enjoying your blog for some time now.
