Meaning that, you can always undo the changes and get the original volume levels back. This is useful because, there are some encoded music files (sometimes happen when downgrading from a high quality multichannel track to 2 channels stereo or when changing between audio codecs) that have either low or too high volumes by default.īut the good thing about volume normalization is that, most tools (including the one that I’m writing here) do it in a way that it’s 100% lossless. (not FLAC).Audio volume gaining or normalization is the process of adjusting the audio level of an audio file (increasing/decreasing) and saving the changes permanently (so you don’t have to manually up/down the volume every time you play a track). So to see these options in ReplayGain DSP settings menu, you need to be ripping to mp3, etc. But these options only show up on itunes compatible files. but in the advanced settings of the ReplayGain DSP, the WRITE dropdown menu will include the option to write track and album AND an itunes compatible tag (this is the soundcheck tag). However, they are using SOUNDCHECK (an apple thing). However, itunes, iphones, and ipods will all use ReplayGain information without needing to use the permanent volume normalize of RG(Apply) (not sure about android devices). I'd likely use the TRACK value in this case. in this case you can only choose track or Album values. This will all just add tags that can be used in the future and don't interfere with the lossless rip.įor mp3 to be sure they are volume normalized everywhere in any kind of player, use the DSP REPLAYGAIN (Apply). But if I can avoid it, that would be good too.The player will play the music, but not all players will take the RG tag info and use it to adjust the volume.įor the FLAC, use REPLAYGAIN DSP (and in the settings, to the right of the DSP in the DSP section of the CD ripper (middle, lower part of screen) you can use the dropdown menu to select Track, Album, or TRACK and ALBUM (I recommend the latter). Since I have the FLAC file I am not overly concerned about the MP3 file having the audio date itself changed. It is the MP3 files that I want volume normalized for all the various albums I rip. I'm also using multi encoder to rip MP3 files at the same time. I'm ripping a FLAC file that has no DSP added. I'm a newbie that is also wanting to normalize the volume for all the albums (CDs) that I rip so that playing them will end the "too soft" or "too loud" problem that I see when shuffling songs from all my albums. But if I can avoid it, that would be good too. Please help this new comer before I spend wasted hours ripping. Are you talking about stacking various tags in the dialogue box? I'll use cell phone players (Apple), tablet player (Android), Windows Media Player, and iTunes.)Īlso, when in the multi-encoder setting and applying the DSP, what do you mean by "I'd add ALBUM and TRACK RG tags"? How is this done? I see "ReplayGain" tag but I don't see a "ReplayGain ALBUM" single tag nor a "ReplayGain ALBUM and TRACK" single tag. When you say "if your player handles ReplayGain tags", what do you mean? In other words, are you saying the player will not play any music (no volume) or the player plays the music but the music volume is not normalized? If the former, I don't know what player I may use in the future so it appears that "ReplayGain (Apply)" is the safest choice to make sure the volume is normalized regardless of the player I use. The latter approach does change the audio data itself.I'm a newbie that is also wanting to normalize the volume for all the albums (CDs) that I rip so that playing them will end the "too soft" or "too loud" problem that I see when shuffling songs from all my albums. If your player does not handle RG tags, you can use ReplayGain (Apply). If your player handles ReplayGain tags, use those tags.
