I want to measure how loud the sound is, in decibels. Is there an application that can do this? Or is there a VST instrument that can do this once I load the sample in Cubase? All help is appreciated. PS In case you are wondering why I would want to do this, it is for a science project (I go to school). Raghav Kaushik [KorektPhool]
