| Summary | 0005830: Improve documentation re. volume leveling | ||||
| Description | The help should be improved to answer the following confusion: MMman http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=32761&st=0&sk=t&sd=a#p194360: Therefore, if Volume Leveling is selected when ripping, converting or syncing in Monkey, the file will be permanently changed changed in the process to adjust the volume, not just for MP3s. MMman http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=38052&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a#p195802 : If it would cause clipping (the Replay Gain Standard) recommends that the player impose a “hard limit” so that the Replay Gain adjustment gets reduced to avoid the clipping. My question is does Monkey do this or does it just clip the files on playback? MMman at the same post: If all the files are analyzed to say 83db and the target playback level is set to 89db does that effectively cause a +6db “pre-amp” adjustment? If so, would make sense to analyze to 83db and then use the target playback level to adjust for the type of music. For example, use 83db for classical and 89db for pop so that there isn’t clipping but you still get the right feel of the music? MMman at http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=38052&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a#p195893 : That is why I think the concept in the Replay Gain original proposal to record the peak level during the analysis and use that to create a hard limit on the adjustment on playback to insure enough headroom to avoid clipping is pretty elegant. If there were a toggle for this feature it would be even better. Does anyone know if Monkey does this? Rusty: For a future version of MM, we could consider adding a DB column, and let the user decide what's better. Ketchupkid: Also, it would have helped some if the column header said something like "Vol. DB Variation" rather than "Track Volume", which is not technically correct, or at best is a little misleading. MMman: I personally think that there should be a warning box that pops up any time you check Level Track Volume when ripping that says what you have selected will premenantly alter the music. | ||||
