Clive - well sure one can force SBS to use SOX with any options you like (via custom-convert.conf) - I do this to force everything to 24/96 for example. You could force a 2:1 compression in there... In practice though, RG in smartgain mode does achieve a general levelling of track-to-track volume - without compressing the hell out of the music. It really is turning the volume up/down once per track (well, mostly down!) rather than squashing the dynamics with compression or limiting. Perhaps I'm missing the point? -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
