Re: Perception of volume change at higher/lower levels


Art, you beat me with posting the equal loudness curves while I was typing (thinking)!

I have noticed the same thing you have about decreased "dynamic range" of my noise-damaged hearing.

Also, you give a very interesting explanation of why mixing recordings at lower SPLs (75-85 dB) generally gives mixes that translate better when played on widely varying equipment at many different SPLs.
