As many know I am in the middle of re-setting up my studio, regurgianimating my fossilised knowledge, and setting up templates
It has occurred to me that if you have a sample playing at pp, mf, ff etc, then its actual level in DB is contingent on the level in my amplifier. Ramp it up and even pp sounds deafening. Fortunately my Amp does have a DB read out. Putting aside the fact that we all feel comfortable at different DB levels, what is the ideal level for the amp? Is there one?
Composing at the wrong level I fear, could lead to either mf being used as p, or mf being used as f. Which could be pretty disastrous.
