History Music Tech Decibel Assignment 1 - Discussion
From MusicTechWiki
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). Throughout Music Tech history, we have had many different analog techniques and tools to measure sound. In todays technological climate, we are spoiled to have the state-of-the-art ability inside our DAWS and even on our mobile devices!
