Now that you have your dB meter sitting there on your desk or console (see Tech Tip of the Day, 10/22/10), put it to work for more than just setting monitor level! A level meter can be a great tool for level matching two sources for accurate A/B comparisons, particularly when comparing a “commercial” mix off of a CD with a raw mix you may be working on. Unless the two sources are precisely mmatched, the louder one will always sound better.
