Is it possible to alter the replay gain values?

Ah Ha! That works, and soooo easy. Many thanks, gab!

Thanks Gab, just what I wanted and easy to alter values on the fly.

The EQdb plugin seems to override the Custom preset setting in the DSP Studio with that for the individual track, substituting flat EQ when the track has no predefined EQ setting.

My main use for the EQdb plugin is fxing the EQ problems in certain music releases. Some are obviously too bassy, too bright, etc and a slight EQ correction can really make them to sound more in line with the others. In my opinion this is a more common problem than the volume level differences because usually Replay Gain works quite well. However, EQdb can be used for fixing both problems.

You can use some other EQ plugin for additional EQ needs, like having different stored presets for different playback systems.

MC has the built-in Parametric Equalizer for room and speaker frequency response correction, but it is practically suitable only for a permanent configuration.

I can recommend the free Voxengo Marvel GEQ 16-band graphic equalizer VST plugin for easily storing and using various EQ adjustments. It works with any channel configuration (from mono to 7.1). It is probably the best freeware graphic EQ plugin. http://www.voxengo.com/product/marvelgeq/

So this is curious.  I would have expected this to place the current value of said field into each field shown under the expression column.  But it seems to create a reference to the original, which can modify the original.  It seems to work.  Is this documented somewhere?  If not, it should be, since it is pretty useful.

Thanks gab.

I would say it's a bug that it lets you edit a non-editable field with an expression, but I don't think people would like the fix.

Non-editable fields are normally non-editable for a reason.  For example, there's a correct way to calculate Replay Gain so it's strange to modify it by hand.

It's not that we're trying to keep data locked up, but instead just trying to keep things understandable.  Imagine "Hey, I converted my MP3s from 128 to 256 just by editing a column!"
