High Resolution Volume Unit Meter Simplifies CD Recording:  06/21/01 EDN-Design Ideas / (added 5/03) Digitally recorded music on CDs offers superior quality to that recorded on vinyl records or tape, but most prerecorded CDs have an annoying characteristic: The average volume levels of the recorded signal can vary by as much as 14 dB from disk to disk. Significant variances, such as 4 dB, can occur from track to track on a single CD. This variation can be a problem when recording your own CDs because you can end up with large variations in loudness between songs....
