NEW: Improved audio analysis and volume leveling (R128)

<< < (28/50) > >>

Arcturus:
Also new to this and have 2 questions.

1. Will analyzing my audio change the files in any way or is the data stored outside of the file. Just wondering because I have my music sync'd to a drive on a server to keep it safe. Don't mind if its going to have to resync the whole thing again.  

2. How will this effect mixed albums that come with a .cue sheet. Example I have an album that's 2 hours long but in a single .FLAC but with a .cue file to break up each track in JRiver. So how would that work to normalize the album?

EDIT. Decided to take the plunge and let it plow through the 28,000 audio files.
I am curious though does it have to read the entire file to do what its doing or how exactly does that work. Same for video is it going to have to read a 4-16gb file just to do its job?

Also notice it added and or modified the BPM field of the id3 tags so never mind the first question.

By default the audio analysis results are stored in the library AND file tags.  If this bothers you, you can turn off writing of any field to the tag using Options > Library & Folders > Manage Library Fields.  I would not recommend doing this.

It has to read and decode the entire file to analyze all the audio.  It's like playing, only at full speed instead of 1x.

Just wanted to say thank you for these features. I notice that I no longer need to adjust the volume, even on playlists that include files like old 64kb mono tunes from early jazz 78's. Amazing! I re-analyzed my 20K songs the other day, and was listening with the old Sennheiser HD-580's last night, and I'm convinced that even the mp3's sound more transparent, crisp and defined than they used to.  :P

Will this hold true when playing to a tab via gizmo? My Asus died yesterday, so I'm shopping for another (don't really mind  ;) ), and I stream my workout mix back to the 'gym' - have noticed major vol. fluctuations in the past. Thanks, again.

They may very well do, as Volume Leveling should help avoid inter-sample clipping, which is common with lossy formats.

HiFiTubes:
I have been noticing quite a reduced volume in .dff files and I have 4 copies of that Jones album so I wonder if it is an issue? Doesn't DSD have -6db or something? But these ISO are being converted to DXD on fly by MC. I'll have to look at the tags tonight.

Anyway, can someone comment on best settings for using RS128 with a DAC with digital volume control? If I want to do most volume adjustment in PC, and minimize use in the DAC (Auralic Vega). What is Volume Disabled vs. Internal Volume with regard to using RS128?

thanks!
