So it is said (argued, with data) that a change of +3 decibels means a sound is physically twice as loud as before the change. +10 decibels is 10 times as loud (but is perceived as "twice" as loud). Many cite 3dB as the smallest increment that the average person can perceive.
My question is this: in your experience, does that relationship maintain itself in a mix? Or is this only the case with a solitary sound?
My experience has been that in a dense mix, 3dB is huge. I will spend three days fighting over 0.5dB with audible differences between settings. This appears even more so when using buss compression in mastering.
