Music Business 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 the business of music, we want to ensure professionalism by accurate distribution. To do that, we want to utilize tools, such as Decibel.

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.
