>From my experience, ReplayGain doesn't completely level volume differences, but it does make a difference. It's lowering overall gain based on peaks, so a recording that is more compressed (when it's mastered) is still going to "sound" louder than a less compressed recording, because although gain in relation to their respective peaks is reduced to the same level, the compressed recording will have many more peaks. ReplayGain may also make the analog VU meters look more choppy and less responsive, which is unfortunate. -- jonheal Jon Heal says: Have a nice day! http://www.theheals.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jonheal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2133 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29495 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
