Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Replay gain on whole collection, or not?

Resurrecting an old thread to bring a new version of XLD to the attention of Mac users. Version 20191004 has a new command line option to add replaygain tags to CUE files. Back in April this year the author added this feature in response to a feature request I made following this thread. He

Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Replay gain on whole collection, or not?

Very interesting topic. Thanks. I am using beets for organising my music (really nice!) Is anybody here using beets (http://beets.io/ ) for doing this? It seems to be a good option for that? Rainer > On 27 Mar 2019, at 22:57, Rnee > wrote: > > > Thanks guys! > > Nice

Thanks guys! Nice to read that this topic also serves others. I am a Foobar user for a long time so that's what I used. On the Foobar website I found some info regarding RG, it states that one might use a lower preamp for classical music... What is the reason for doing so, or not using it at

Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Replay gain on whole collection, or not?

These are new options. Not sure. From reading the options I would leave the down sample selected. Then do a test with and without the peak option on a few different types of music styles and see how I like the results for volume matching. Of course all any of this does is add info tags. It’s not

Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Replay gain on whole collection, or not?

I was inspired by this thread to look into ways to add replaygain tags to my 'FLAC Image+CUE sheet collection'. Ideally I'd like to leave the FLAC image untouched and just write RG tags to the CUE sheet. I use a Macbook, and although there's a Foobar2000 port for Mac now, it doesn't seem to

Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Replay gain on whole collection, or not?

I do think care needs to be taken as some software gives the option of actually adjusting the levels in the file? I don't recommend that option, but watch out for it. It is a permanent change that it would seem rare that someone would want (at least in this day and age). I suspect it was

Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Replay gain on whole collection, or not?

Let me be more clear... I don't use foobar, so I can't speak to it. But what I am saying, is I would find an app that uses the r128 standard, and have it analyze and write both track and album tags at the same time. Winamp does this, just not with r128, (yet). Then use smartgain on playback,

Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Replay gain on whole collection, or not?

I apply/write RG tags to everything. I would advise applying the R128 ver of RG, its newer. I think foobar, MM, etc use it. Winamp doesn't. I advise applying both track and album tags. And yes, smart gain is a great feature to use. using: win7 64 + lms 7.9 & duet & ipads w/the logitech

[SlimDevices: Ripping] Replay gain on whole collection, or not?

Hi guys I have a collection of +24k files of which about 1200 are full albums, formats are flac, mp3 and m4a. Apart from listening to full albums a lot, it also happens regularly that I play a mix based on genre or timeframe; naturally the result is having mixed sound levels. I know about that
