dB is a logarithmic scale: a 3 dB change represents a doubling or halving of power, and a 10 dB change is perceived as roughly twice or half as loud. A 5-10 dB cut would be highly noticeable, especially in tightly regulated environments like studios. To claim otherwise is inconsistent with basically everything relevant to this discussion.
I worked as a board op when I was there. If I had the chance, I dropped audio levels by 5-10dB for commercials.
uh … that’s a lot, nobody noticed?
No one said anything. And considering how loud they often are, it really wasn’t that much.
Why are you lying about this?
I’m not.
You just told me 5-10 dB isn’t much - you’re completely full of shit about all of this.
5-10 db isn’t that much.

I’m aware.
When I lowered the gain from 5-10dB, it wasn’t a huge change.
