Things got confused in this thread imo. I use RG, I do not use normalization and wouldn't want to. But the other issue doesn't make sense. Think of output level as the volume knob. If it's at 10, that's 100%. If it's at 5, that's 50%. In either case, RG should be applied and noticeable (vs

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 let’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 st

If you don't want those big RG values, you can amplify the files. Just amplify each track by the same amount. 12dB should do it. Apesbrain's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=738 View this thread:
