Reduce Maximum of Peak Level Normalize to Prevent Clipping (aka add headroom)

<< < (2/3) > >>

Matt:
I just converted an album with Adaptive Volume (Peak Level Normalize) and Volume Leveling selected.

After conversion I analyzed the new files. They had a peak of -0.2 dB which should mean they're hitting peak just like expected.

Playing the files should perform the same procedure.

So I'm not seeing a problem with my tests. Thanks.

Library Eye:
edit: various sources, consistently getting results peaking slightly over 0

Matt:
Are you converting to floating point that can hold a louder value?

Library Eye:
I don't see any such options, floating point vs fixed point or whatever it might be; bit depth is Automatic

Matt:
Well there really can't be a value over 0.0 dB because that's the maximum. Use MC to analyze the audio and look at "Peak Level".

I just converted an album to 32-bit float and still -0.1 dB from the max like expected.
