The Loudness war movement is real and correlates well with my taste, R128 seems worthless. Thanks for incorporating DR, I was just starting to think the upgrade was farce, you squeaked her out though.

I'm not sure I understand why you think R128 Leveling seems worthless - it directly counteracts the one of the main problems caused by the loudness war. (tracks being played too loud)

Hi, having in my playlist a mix of red-book, 24/88, 24/96, 24/192 and DSD (128 bit stream) files, I've noticed that in the new 87 version, the DSD files have a lower volume than before. And that for DSD the volume leveling is not active. I keep my rule to introduce no changes in the signal path, but I was hit by a large swing on a red-book file after several DSD ones.
I'm missing something?
Regards,
Vlad

If you use DSD Bitstreaming, Volume Leveling would be disabled.
If you have volume leveling active for PCM tracks, and disabled for DSD tracks, you might experience changes in the level.

I want to copy 30 tracks from my collection to a temp directory and then audio analyse and then volume level all the tracks to each other.
I am playing the tracks via winamp with a broadcast module thru a third party server site to a chat forum that i DJ at (if you will). Therefore I need MC 19 to physically change the volume level data inside each of the 30 tracks, once again so that all tracks are volume leveled to each other when they are played via winamp.
Can MC 19 do what I am requesting?, any help would be appreciated. ( I am using MC 18)

I have a question about using the data from audio analysis to create playlists.
I have created several "mellow" smartlists based on the following parameters from the old audio analysis:
BPM <= 75 and Intensity <=2
Now that 'Intensity' is gone, all of these smartlists are empty. How do I use the new tools to create similar "mellow" playlists?
I understand that the dynamic range measures the difference between the quietest and loudest levels in a track and that if the dynamic range is small, the track is probably more intense. Tracks that have some quiet passages and some loud passages will have a large dynamic range. This doesn't really help me find "mellow" music. For example, a track of acoustic guitar played quietly will probably have a low dynamic range if there aren't any silent parts.
I think the volume or peak levels would also relate to the mellowness of a song. The volume or peak level of a mellow song should not be as large as the volume or peak level of an intense song. However, the values shown in MC19 don't look like they are absolute values. They look like corrective values. So I am not sure how I could use them in this case.
Can someone help me come up with a formula to create a "mellow" playlist?
