There is a problem with ANY kind of digital normalisation, in that unless it is a pretty dumb "auto-gain control" it may introduce compression - otherwise a quiet track might be boosted so much that the loudest parts clip. So, if it doesn't boost or cut the track by a simple fixed amount of dB, it is compressing and that is a BAD thing since it is sucking the original dynamics out.
...and if it is a dumb auto-gain shifter...how does it avoid clipping? I think replaygain does have a use for casual listening, parties etc...but I'd never use it when I really want to hear what the artist intended. -- Phil Leigh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30898 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
