But also says: “Note that this will have a direct impact on the sound of your project.”
Makes me wonder - how does this work and how is project affected when changing this?
Does Cubase internally reduce everything by 12dB and send to plugins - and then compensate on outs when rendering/exporting?
Is this done dynamically, on the fly, or burned into recordings made?
Does it matter i using 24bit recording format - and using less bits?
Seen this settings in other daws too, but never figured it would affect anything but how much it allows fader to go past 0dB - if having low recording level on a track.
Just as well figuring this out before having too many project in Cubase - if to keep default setting or not.

Obviously when a project is changed from +12 to +6 dB fader level, all signals which channel faders exceed +6 dB of gain, will be reduced in volume by the amount of gain exceeding 6 dB, while all others remain the same - the same applies to sends.
These are two independent sentences though
-Loading pre 5.5 projects will set the dafault value of +12 to +6.
-Setting the default level from +12 dB to +6 dB will have a direct impact on the sound, as I wrote above.
yes. And very simple to verify yourself…
Low recording levels don´t have anything to do with fader levels (input channels aside) at all…
