Decibels & Meters

Course Description

The dB is a unit that simplifies measurement. It reduces the number of units you need to track from many into very few. This makes reading the power of a signal much easier.

By looking at a meter’s motion while monitoring audio, that visual cue becomes essential in your productions. Whether you are protecting your monitors, figuring out the dynamic range of your mix, or setting your master level, you need to know how to read a dB meter.

In this course, we dive into the math and application of reading a dB meter. This core topic will push you further in your recording, mixing, and mastering sessions.
