SOX docs says -h provvide all the headroom you need to minimize clipping in all the effect chain, BUT I experienced situations where adding some extra headroom (negative gain) make it sound better. i.e. Balance (mix) effect is one of them. I'll have a try adding -6 db of gain. Compression is nice at low volume, but when louder it shows is own effects: it estroy the dynamic of music. I'm not aware of something like loudness for compression, so what you could do is prepare two or more different 'presets' at different level and recall them depending on the situation. One way to do that is to 'name' two (or more) players with different mac address (and name), then change the mac address of squezelite (-m), that way the server will use settings for that specific player (identified by the mac address). Is that easy. ________________________________________________________________________ Author of C-3PO plugin, Squeezelite-R2, Falcon Web interface - See www.marcoc1712.it ------------------------------------------------------------------------ marcoc1712's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34842 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105309 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
