Thanks I know that some modernly mastered CD's' especially of cheap pop music use too much dynamic compression in order to achieve higher volume without clipping. I'm not talking about those cd's as I don't really care about that kind of music. On the other hand, in order to utilized the maximum dynamic range of a 16bit encoded audio, the cd's must be mastered so that the highest peak reaches the full scale level of a 16bit word' that is 0db reference. take for an example old dire straits mastered in the late 80's. They have extremely low volume with much wasted headroom, resulting an a dynamic rage equivalent of 15 or 14bit recording. My reference CD's are believe it or not, all recent fully digitally mastered Michael Jackson albums such as Dangerous and History. These albums where recorded and mastered by one of the best recording engineer/producer named Bruce Swedien who even won a Grammy for some of work with MJ and Quincy Jones. So my question is can the pre-edited gain tags be tweaked with any other software beside Foobar2000? -- EB1000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ EB1000's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40973 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82644 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
