yeah i get that

i just remember reading when using another software that if you were
going to use software volume control you should pad the bit rate because
when turning the volume down you are actually removing bits and reducing
dynamic range -- something along those lines
i remember it being from what seemed to be a legitimate source, so i
accepted it
now it seems the padding part is correct but simply because of cleaner
maths or something
