asking for a friend... would love to see games like EQ Cheeta be level matched across genres so that I don't have to constantly change my level knob to be at 75-80 SPL.

Fantastic read!
I started doing this a while back after coming across a video that suggested mixing at quieter levels for a more clear mix...tried it out and haven't looked back since
