I think its often really a problem of kinda "sloppy production". In an ideal environment, all discs in a set -should- be expected to level out.
Then again, we dont have an ideal world. Floyds »Ummagumma« was actually a good example: Mine shows an album RG of -2.60 on the »Live« disc 1, and -3.58 on the »Studio« disc 2. (Values may not be that accurate, since I still only have that album as MP3, not as FLAC.) For me, the »live« and »studio« parts thus would somehow be kinda »separate« albums, and RG'ed accordingly. So I set SC to -not- aggregate multi-disc albums and -believe- I get more out of album gain. Maybe also because I wouldnt »jump« between listening to the »live« and »studio« discs. Maybe its really a little personal preference, what one considers to be »an album«. (And what the producers did to the material.) I should probably also go and rip my »Jubilee Edition« (hee hee) and see how good that production was ;-) -- Moonbase Moonbase: 'The Problem Solver' (http://www.kaufen-ist-toll.de/moonbase) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Moonbase's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21594 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57543
