Hi Bob. First off, thanks for this informative site. I write, produce and mix electronic music in my homestudio setup. I use a pair of Adam A7 nearfield monitors (love them). I usually mix at a level of about 85dbA for about 2 hours at a time (with about 40minute breaks in between) to a maximum of 4 sessions per day to make sure I don't stress or damage my ears to much. But one thing that I keep asking myself: 'At howmany dB must I mix to get a mix that will translate well to a big system?' 'To get a mix that holds up well' 'And is that better to be measured in dBA or dBC?' So what is the ideal amount of dB(A or C)to be doing a mix at with this kind of music? Thank you in advance for your time and advice. All the best, Glen.
