I agree, RG seems to have a real problem with bassy material. It does not attenuate as much as it should with this sort of material. This is probably due to the perceived loudness phenomena. For some reason, material from The Smashing Pumpkins seems to be especially problematic? I think their bass guitar is recorded hotter than average. > ReplayGain may also make the analog VU meters look more choppy and less > responsive, which is unfortunate. This is also true for the spectrum analyzer, where it's worse for FLACs. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29495 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
