What is the difference between dB and dBFS?
Summary. Decibels are used to describe differences or changes in level. 0 dB means 'no change'. Values in dBFS are used to describe signal levels in comparison with the highest level a WAV file can handle.
How to convert dBFS to dB?
There is no such conversion, as they operate in different realms. 0 dBFS could correspond to -80 dBSPL or +10 dBSPL, it entirely depends on how much you crank up the volume on your physical audio device. Only relative differences should be identical, unless your physical audio chain produces significant distortion.
What dBFS means?
The term dB FS (or dBFS) means decibels relative to full scale. It is used for amplitude levels in digital systems with a maximum available peak level, e.g., PCM encoding, where 0 dB FS is assigned to the maximum level.
