decibelsToGain()

template<typename Type >

static Type juce::Decibels::decibelsToGain ( Type  decibels, Type  minusInfinityDb = Type (defaultMinusInfinitydB)  )

inlinestatic

Converts a dBFS value to its equivalent gain level.

A gain of 1.0 = 0 dB, and lower gains map onto negative decibel values. Any decibel value lower than minusInfinityDb will return a gain of 0.

gainToDecibels()

template<typename Type >

static Type juce::Decibels::gainToDecibels ( Type  gain, Type  minusInfinityDb = Type (defaultMinusInfinitydB)  )

inlinestatic

Converts a gain level into a dBFS value.

A gain of 1.0 = 0 dB, and lower gains map onto negative decibel values. If the gain is 0 (or negative), then the method will return the value provided as minusInfinityDb.

toString()

template<typename Type >

static String juce::Decibels::toString ( Type  decibels, int  decimalPlaces = 2, Type  minusInfinityDb = Type (defaultMinusInfinitydB), bool  shouldIncludeSuffix = true, StringRef  customMinusInfinityString = {}  )

inlinestatic

Converts a decibel reading to a string.

By default the returned string will have the 'dB' suffix added, but this can be removed by setting the shouldIncludeSuffix argument to false. If a customMinusInfinityString argument is provided this will be returned if the value is lower than minusInfinityDb, otherwise the return value will be "-INF".
