Decibel Level Meter?
I thought I’d share a funny anecdote with you about our last local gig. So, the other day we went to Oklahoma Bible Academy in Enid, OK to lead worship for their chapel service and as we are setting up a teacher asked me, “How loud do you think you will be?” “Do you think you will be able to keep it between 95 and 99 decibals?” I have to admit I was annoyed and humored at the same time. I told him that I wasn’t sure how loud it would be since we were still setting up and hadn’t sound checked yet. His response was, to say the least, intriguing. He said, “Well, most people we have come in to play have their own decibal meter.” I don’t know if I missed the class on “the benefits of carrying a decibal level meter” or didn’t get the memo from the musician’s union about “mandatory decibal level checks” but I was intrigued by this statement. Who carries their own decibal level meter with them? Especially a rock band. Now we aren’t a normal rock and roll group but our music leans more toward that style than anything else. Also, who would want to bring in a group that plays a more aggressive style to have a decibal level meter? So, I’m taking a poll. Should the Sean Gallagher Band purchase a decibal level meter and use it before every gig? Click on the link below and let us know what you think we should do. We would love to hear from you!
