Sure, but why would you want to? The average CD is so loud that if you cranked up the volume to its "original volume level" it would be way too loud. RG is attempting to adjust the volume for you - it's like it's moving the knob. With RG, you start playing and settle on a comfortable volume level. You can then leave it alone and as playback moves from track to track, RG will attempt to make sure that the playback volume is even between tracks*, which means you don't have to fiddle with the volume as much. Without RG, if you had a nice CD mastered in the mid-80s (in my opinion, the golden age of the CD) and then moved to one produced recently, you would almost certainly have to make a huge volume adjustment. * assuming track gain. -- Mark Lanctot "Make it so it doesn't suck" is a good design target, but hard to implement - Michael Herger ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 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
