Title: MC17 question - sync with Ipod - settings for volume leveling - not working!!
Post by: ShayB on September 28, 2012, 01:16:01 am

hi,

hi what options should I set when I sync my Ipod so that mp3 (which are already normalized) and ape files will play with the same volume?
my APE and mp3 files are already analyzed and have replay-gain values.

I tried setting the sync options (in the ipod sync dialog window) so that:
1. volume adjustment == 95%  (what does this do anyway?)
2. set to convert always
3. checked DSP settings
4. in dsp-settings enabled volume leveling as fixed, 0.0db, clip protection, track based

and synced to an empty Ipod.

in the Ipod the volume are still different between APE and mp3 (unless I use the sound-check option).
also, the Ipod is actually connected to a car Multimedia player which controls the Ipod.
So, I am afraid that in my car, the sound-check will have no effect.

help anyone?



one more thing.
I set the dsp volume leveling to -10.8DB  - THIS HAS NO EFFECT ON THE OUTCOME
meaning that when syncing with Ipod the volume leveling doesn't do its purpose though the APE and mp3 files are being re-converted each test (it has been 3 hours of trying by now).

as a result, bot the mp3 and APE files have the same volume (as before)

developers please look into it.
I have the latest (186) version on a new computer (no previous MC versions were ever installed)

hi Reinhard,
I can't live with it, I moved from MC16 to MC17 just for the volume leveling during sync.
I also tried many solutions. It is one of MC17 features. Making it work will put MC as the best solution on the market

hallo shay
i can understand you

but
i erase mit ipod
installing new with itunes
sync with itunes

I do not believe that it is (for me) a problem with mc
it is the ipod (all 3)
