[QUOTE="Art Welter, post: 90185, member: 52"] Re: Pseudo-intellectual bully with a sound level meter I remember when the Walkman came out. I also remember what it was like to hear 4kHz louder than any other frequency. Those days are gone forever, with a huge noise induced hole where the fricatives are. I blame power tools as much as rock and roll for the hearing damage. Now the difference between hearing at 4kHz and it being too loud for my ears resides in a narrow region about where Frank mixes at, 85-90 dBA slow. Keeps my mixes pretty tight, but I miss those days when my hearing was still in the normal range and walking up to the stage didn't cause a big threshold shift. Then again, if my hearing was normal, the inverse distance law wouldn't bug me as much, and I wouldn't have had the motivation to come up with this: [url]http://soundforums.net/varsity/7268-hyperboline-%99-new-player-old-game.html[/url] I sure would like to see what they could do if loaded with some of those nice B&C full range drivers (hint hint, Bennett) instead of the cheap shit my R&D department could afford.
