bands like Disturbed), regardless of any reason I can come up with. Even if that point isn't accurate so to speak, the higher the value of reduction on a song is, it seemed to me the muddier it also began to sound (especially heavy metal, e.g. Sounds/ambiance in the quieter ranges of songs is essentially lost/lowered to a point where its potential purpose is lost. It is said that technically no quality is lost through this process but I would disagree. The only thing is, raising/lowering everything to the same value is not a solution, especially to a low value like the recommended. If that's the case, does anyone have any suggestions for a potential way of accomplishing what I'd like to whether it's a different program or an alternate method altogether?įor more information on my intentions here with my music, well, it's really just the obvious it's what everyone wants to accomplish. I have a feeling I will be told this cannot be improved/fixed. 1dB more accurate which I feel isn't even close worth an adjustment of 1.5 for such a small "improvement", especially when it's just taking a positive of a similar volume to the corrected and bringing it to the other side (or the negative and bringing it to the positive). Technically, that would make each track at least. Firstly, it seems to only lower/raise everything by step values of 1.5. This leaves the inaccuracy of MP3Gain in question. I could technically do both manually by first doing Track Analysis on everything, removing everything 96.7 or below, applying gain to what's left, then doing the opposite for 93.7. What I would probably wanna do after lowering everything to 96.7 is raise everything below 93.7 to 93.7. All I see of any relevance is an option not to clip when doing Track Gain which in itself I don't quite understand the effect of. In MP3Gain (which is what I need to use since my player, the Cowon J3, doesn't read ReplayGain metadata), that option isn't made clear. The problem then becomes, how do I do this? In Foobar2000, when converting a file with tags for ReplayGain, it can be set to only apply gain, only reduce, or do both depending on the file. I guess that's not pertinent though considering the mentioned above and the fact that I really just want to lower volumes louder than the desired. If that's true, it appears as though for all the tracks to be satisfied, the target volume would need to be 93.1. The next "clip()" album I'm guessing indicates if the track will clip after the targeted volume would be set. There could be some other technical issues involved here, but regardless, the accuracy of these indications wouldn't seem to be relevant since I honestly hear no problems and therefore wouldn't care if those files are actually "clipping" or not. That being said, Alan Parsons is a brilliant Audio Engineer - world renowned as one of the best, clipping obviously being one of the things he has always been cautious of. Well firstly I'd like to mention that if there is clipping occurring, I definitely haven't heard any, regardless of the output. Not really knowing anything for sure, even though the selected tracks aren't all consistently above a certain dB value, that's irrelevant and it's just saying that there are parts in those song that peak (when it's above _ value relative to the max of a 16-bit 44.1kHz file), right? About 24 of the 30 total tracks which I have there are red with a "Y" under the "clipping" column. That not being of utmost relevance, my query is really about the following. I took the average dB value of the track analysis done by MP3Gain which was 96.7733333 so I just decided to use 96.7. I find it to have the perfect volume, listening in the car, headphones - wherever. The Alan Parsons Project Greatest Hits is the album I entered the songs of into the program. Some of it doesn't make sense to me/I'd like some confirmation on my assumptions. So MP3Gain claims that many files are presently clipping and will continue clipping even when the dB values are lowered. TLDR at the bottom (may be much to read but answers if you know I think would be simple)
