Playing around with the MP3Gain GUI, I don't know. I can alter the reference level at any time. It appears that all it needs is one "analysis" pass, either during that session or before. In the file it appears to store a value that it places in its "volume" column, the "track gain" column is simply a difference between the volume value and the reference value you type in at the top. So when you open the GUI, the volume and gain values pop up instantly for files that were previously analyzed. If there's been no analysis, there won't be any volume/gain values until they are analyzed. When you change the reference value, note that the gain values change instantly without rewriting the files (in fact they change as you type) - this is indicating it's an in-session instant calculation based on the difference between the new reference value and the volume value. But this new adjustment won't be saved in the file unless you do a track analysis again. The gain button operates the same but performs both the analysis and alters the volume bits. So the next time you view such files, you'll always see a gain of 0 because the file's volume has actually been altered to your reference value. It will only indicate anything other than 0 if your reference value isn't what you used when you altered the file's volume the first time. -- Mark Lanctot "It's like, you know, a New Age religion, but with better treble response." - Jon Heal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32178 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
