[PD] Relative Db measurement

[Alexandre Torres Porres]

I don't think I get it, but the value change in the multiplier would be a
ratio. Say you go from 0.5 to 1, that's like multiplying it by 2, so you
have to convert this ratio to a dB change, formula is db = log10(ratio) *
20, and a ratio of 2 is a 6.0206 dB increase.
