Of couse, even in the good old days of vinyl there could be large variances in volume btween albums depending on how "hot" they were cut and on how long each side was. Put on Todd Rundgren's "A Wizard, A True Star" album that clocks in near 30 minutes a side and compare it to any album with 20 minutes a side and the difference in loudness is obvious. Longer albums had to have their level reduced so that the squiggles on the vinyl were narrower. At least today we have tools like Replaygain to deal with these things in the digital world! -- Rick B. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rick B.'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8973 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51320 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
