oh no!

i think it must have!!

dangit.....nevermind.

i guess i was just wondering how you consistently mix at the same exact volume day in and day out? I have to constantly change mine....

i also agree that 83 db is LOUD. i measured someone talking to me in my studio yesterday while they didn't know it and it measured 62 db.

i guess i also fail to see how you would never have an over with your system. I mean, unless you have already set the limiter at 0. otherwise, if I am mixing at a -14db or even a =20 db average level, at a specific monitoring level, i am still liable to get overs, no matter what monitoring level. i guess i should just try it because these verbal descriptions are making no sense to me.
