When I was working on my Communications degree I still owned a recording
studio.  For a class entitled "Pop Culture", as a project I recorded the
audio track of a network sitcom.  I wanted to see if the laugh track levels
were louder, in general than the dialogue(it was).  Something I discovered
too was that, on average, the audio for commercials was about twenty percent
louder than the dialogue--even louder than the laugh track.  Thank God for
the mute button, eh?

I don't think my Dad took the class on how to do that.
