Music Theory Decibel Assignment 1 - Discussion

Overview

Meters are an essential tool in a musicians toolbox. They can be used to tell you a wide variety of information about the sounds you are hearing (levels, dynamics, frequency, etc). In Music Theory, we are often concerned and intrigued about notes belonging in relation to each other. In the broader spectrum of metering, there are standard level requirements in relation to different content and where it's being distributed.

Decibel by Process.Audio is a "super meter" that is fully customizable. And just like Mixup, Decibel is included for FREE your PureMix Pro subscription. It's a great time to be an MTEC student.

Check out this collection of additional metering plugins here: Loudness Meter Plugins
