BlackPanther Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Whenever I start messing with volume levels or knobs for other parameters, everything has to be adjusted in increments of 5. No odd or even numbers just numbers that are multiples of 5. Maybe others do this but I was just wanting peoples opinions on this, is it a stupid idea or what lol? Quote
BlackPanther Posted January 21, 2009 Author Posted January 21, 2009 Uh I'm not sure what that means lol xD. Quote

BlackPanther Posted January 21, 2009 Author Posted January 21, 2009 Well damnit lol. Well if that is the case I guess I just have to fight it but I think that'll be easy though. Quote
Zephyr Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 I do some minor stuff like that, but not "needs to be like this" If I tweak something then don't like it I can't just put it back to around it's original value, I need to actually reset it or it kinda bothers me. Quote
analoq Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 As far as track volume goes, you can use multiples of 6 if they're measured in decibels. A 6 dB increase or decrease represents a doubling or a halving of volume, respectively. I ballpark all my levels to multiples of 3dB then fine-tune to intervals of 1.5dB. A good way to mix? Probably not, but I have a similar compulsion for everything to add up "evenly". cheers. Quote
tgfoo Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 I do that with the volume on my TV or car stereo, yeah, I'm a little OCD about some things. Probably not an issue if you just doing ballpark settings, but if you're trying to tweak and fine tune things, probably not so good. Quote
Yoozer Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Whenever I start messing with volume levels or knobs for other parameters, everything has to be adjusted in increments of 5. Imagine that you're in a store, trying to fit clothes. All measurements are in increments of 5 inches. Nothing fits. lol? No, facepalm. Quote
Hy Bound Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 I usually do an even number or round up to a 10 if I seriously can't tell the difference between the two settings... Usually thats just so its easy to remember the setting if I want to set something else comparatively. Not sure if thats quite the same since its for an actual reason... Quote
big giant circles Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I can sympathize a bit. I tend to set my master tempo in 5's unless I'm trying to score something. Quote
