[QUOTE="Eric Cagle, post: 97350, member: 277"] Re: Mixing live tracks: headphones or monitors I used to track at lower volumes but for critical mixing I found my perception changed at volumes much below 90dB. For lack of a better term I would say the resolution was much better for me on the equipment I mixed on for years in the 90-95db range. I used to use a RadioShack dB meter a lot and those were the numbers that always worked for me. Who knows how accurate it really was but it was at least very consistent. There was a point at which the midrange seemed to all run together at higher volumes and a point at lower volumes that I could not really distinguish everything well enough to make accurate mixing decisions. In that range I mixed in I could hear less than 1dB changes and when I lowered the volume the mix was still well balanced. Those numbers are for where the meter was peaking. [/QUOTE]
