Amplitude, Power, Gain, Loudness, Volume
The question of is there a correct gain for playback...
There is and I believe the reason there is has to do with the listening env=
ironement. The proper level is when the sound level is enough to pressuriz=
e or excite the room. A point when a stereo signal fills the room and soun=
ds like the rear speakers are also on (via sweet spot). At the same time, =
too loud is when the actual sound would be louder than it would be in real =
life. Hard with amplified instruments, but setting loudness to "as if you =
were there" level usually works for the upper level. It is amazing when th=
e sound snaps correct when the level is set right for the track. Important=
topic.
