A question about peak level...

[bonzobonham]

I am working on a show, and when I extracted the wave files using EAC almost all had Peak Level 100%. Is this too high ?? Should I lower the level ??
Thanks for any input.

Does this look O.K. ??

Peak level is the max volume in the file, unless its at 0% your fine. That log looks good to me

it means that there is some amount of clipping on the cd you are ripping from... there are no errors reported in the ripping process.
