According to his website, Gordon Hempton uses such a process when preparing=
 his binaural 'sound portraits'. He measures the SPL at the mic position du=
ring recording, and matches it at the monitoring position in his studio whe=
n preparing the recordings for release. The idea has always made a lot of s=
ense to me, but I'm too lazy to carry an SPL meter...

The SPL Meter widget for iPhones might make it easier, however.
