September 17, 200519 yr I understand the thinking behind it ... although, I'm not sure what kind of music those guys listen to or if they actually listen to it full tilt. I know that a lot of music today contains information well in excess of -7 dB and often that information is clipped from the disc, too. I'd be very weary setting my gains with a -10 dB tone and listening to today's music at the volume you used to set your gains.The only reason why I used 0 dB in the gain setting tutorial I put up is so people don't blow their equipment, not necessarily to get the most out of their equipment. I'm making a new gain setting tutorial and providing tones in 0 dB, -3 dB, and possibly -6 dB, but I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending -10 dB, especially to n00bs.I personally use -6 dB for subs and set the speaker gains by ear.
September 18, 200519 yr ^ ?There is no big hump...<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Yes there is.When i set my friends gains with a DMM and tone it was very loud at low volume.That was with a 0dB 1khz toneThere was no comfortable levelSo i just set it by ear...err i mean eye
