DAW 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). Especially working in DAWs and even video production software, meters help us with accuracy in a digital environment. With a tool like Decibel, we can optimize our metering no matter what software we prefer.

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
