   The effect of that 12 dB of attenuation is quite dramatic, while still   
   keeping a decent level.

   Loud isn't in itself a problem, but TOOOOOOOO LOUD is!   
   Using 125 dB as a threshold of pain baseline, I'd estimate that the levels I   
   was being ASSAULTED with were at least 130 dB+.

   It's not new. It's as old as EVIL itself. Motivated by Filthy Lucre,   
   Controlled by the ENEMY - what a HELLISH way to exist!   
   A Gift Economy would Totally Eliminate that DISEASE!

   I should eventually get around to demo recording the 4 songs on the new   
   album, but first I've got to get a card reader for this computer that can   
   read CF cards.
