I don't know the internals of replaygain, so I can't talk in specifics. But in general, bits are bits. Changing by 15 db is about 2 and a half bits. Lowering by 15 dB on a 16 bit signal will make it be a 13.5 bit signal. Dither can help with the half bit. In a 16 bit world, lowering the signal by two bits costs you 12 dB in signal to noise ratio. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
