Not having entered the world of BitTorrent yet, I decided to download the mp3s of NIN's The Slip (see Music forum). As ever with anything I put into my library, I ran foobar2000's ReplayGain scanner over them. And got some very strange results:
Album: -8.53 Tracks: 1: 6.86 2: 64.81 3: -10.69 4: -8.41 5: 64.81 6: -8.86 7: 1.77 8: -2.27 9: -7.09 10: -9.06 Tracks 2 and 5 are *not* astonishingly quiet, and I shudder to think what would happen if I ever use "apply track gain"! (Guesses: just lots of clipping. I'm already used to WMA tracks blasting out when track gain is(n't) being applied; they're louder, but not threateningly so.) Just before sending this, I decided to re-run the RG calcs in foobar; and the 64.81 values mutated into more credible -10.91 and -8.36 values. Clearly, something went wrong first time round; but I got no indication, other than an almost-certainly barmy figure. I wonder if it's happened elsewhere, and I just haven't noticed it? -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47365 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
