Yes replay gain tags only teaks the volume at playback . But never at a positive values because of clipping so there is a target volume letÂ’s say -10dB ( the exact value is probably something else ) so the rg tags is an offset to reach the target volume usually negative .
Really well recorded stuff can have a small positive values . But I suppose a reallly large positive value trips up the algorithm so it does not dare to raise the volume to much as clipping may occur . Or also likely the volume was so very low that you needed more than 100% gain 0db at playback to match the other tracks . The player can not provide more than full volume . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
