Decibels in PureData

Just a quick reminder for those of you working on the Project for week 1:

PureData uses a slightly different form of dB than the one we derived in class. To convert between the two, simply add 100 to the level in standard dB to get the level in PureData's dB. Similarly, to convert a PureData dB to standard dB, subtract 100.

Professor Puckette could likely defend his decision for this better than I can, but I imagine he did this to keep the PureData dB values positive.
