I have found it almost impossible to achieve a correct communication of what the best volume is. Can you show me how to do that better and more accurately? I was attempting to use Db but that is different depending on where the microphone speaker combination is on the phone. What do I do to accurately and consistently communicate a specific volume that works for everyone on every device with all the different possible numbers of volume adjustment layers?
More than complaining you don't provide a precise volume instructions, I was complaining you sometimes reply to your (good and loyal) customers like if they were children/stupid. And with this response you just did again.
So, you, that know infinitely more than me about subliminals and digital audio, after thinking countless time more than me about what's the best approach on how to communicate what the best volume is, you reached the conclusion the best way is to write down "iPhone 10/16 clicks".
OK, I agree. It's the best approximation. It's the best and more clear way for your customers. But it's an approximation. It's only an absolute value for the model you made the testing with, probably some years ago. For any other hardware different than you made the testing with, it's not absolute. This same "10/16" between iPhone X and an iPhone 16 can has a 50% difference. I think we can agree on this, right?
So, if a (good and loyal) customer of you asks:

- 1 hour silent track
- 1 hour silent track
- OSC (20 min)
- DRS 6G
- DRS 6G
The only problem I see is the recommended volume. I have an IPhone, so:
- Recommended volume for OSC is 10/16
- Recommended volume for DRSv2 is 6/16
So what would be my best approach..... 8/16 (the middle)???
You have two options.
1- Reply to this person as he was stupid:
Shannon Wrote:Why do you think these volumes are recommended? If they were only "recommendations", it would not be necessary for me to spend so much time and energy figuring them out to that level of specificity. These are not recommendations. That is the volume at which they should be used.
2- Reply as this person is an adult:
Shannon Wrote:The volumes I provide are the best aproximation I can do, but in reality I have no fucking idea at what volume (dB) are you listening to them, because there are infinite hardware combinations.
Why don't you listen to OSC before going to bed as it's only 20 min and don't ask stupid questions in the forum?
Anyway, as maybe in the future it's not only 20 min, but many loops, despite not being the best scenario, if it's the only way you can listen to them uninterrupted, the best approach would be:
a) Set the lower volume of both
b) Set the loudest volume of both
c) Set the middle volume between both of them.
I encourage to don't use this method, but I understand you are asking this because your life doesn't allow you to use the recommended way, and not because you want I lose time in the forum.
Thank you.
