I have a question regarding @Rob Mayzes's email about monitoring at low volume. "Set your baseline: Use an SPL meter app on your phone to calibrate your listening position. Aim for 55dB to 65dB (conversation level). It will feel uncomfortably quiet at first, and that’s okay." I can't seem to find the way to transfer this idea in the box. SPL metering is usually using a hand held device. Is there a way to transfer this idea inside the box via a monitoring plugin in?? or should I be holding the phone application up to my headphones?? I try to mostly stay at the same conversational volume level unless I need to hear something very subdued or to test the loudness. Any help or input in this regard is greatly appreciated.

You've probably heard about this by now. I thought about it, how does this affect me? Didn't realize Native Instruments recently acquired: iZtope, Plugin Alliance and Brainworx. https://musictech.com/news/industry/native-instruments-preliminary-insolvency/ Let's talk about it.
