Programming Audio Effects: Gain (Amplitude to dB Conversion)

UPDATE: https://youtu.be/cUHxhbY-nr0 --- A terminology errata for the pedantic: Every time I say “loudness” in this video, I should probably have said “intensity.” The measurement of loudness is a whole can of worms that we’ll get to in another episode. Advanced note: The default code generated by REAPER does something that our code doesn’t: it smoothes slider changes so that you’ll never hear clicks, even if you use automation to change the slider a lot very fast. We decided not to do this because: 1. It’s more complicated; 2. You may want a fast volume change; who knows maybe you even want the click for some reason.
