I just have a loud song that doesn't give me an earsore, and i just want to make few other songs to be loud like that. If anybody can give me a solid explanation about this RG issue, i will really appreciate it.īottom line is, how can i apply album RG so that all of the songs in an album are as loud as the loudest song in that album, or all the songs in an album are as loudest as possible in general, which was my initial intention?Īnd yes, when i say 'as loudest as possible', i do not expect clipping, distortion, or any other audio nuisance. I don't know any better because i didn't design ReplayGain. Maybe i didn't 'specify' an option hidden somewhere in the option menu, and the default value happens to be matching the songs to the quietest song in an album. And when i say 'not as loud as', i mean the difference of mosquito flying noise and a shouting noise. I applied album gain on these duplicate songs, and the result is that even though they sound equally loud, they were not as loud as the loudest song i found. Long story short, i duplicated that -7.98 dB song and deliberately lowered the volume by 50%, about -6.02 dB, using GoldWave. In my uneducated perception, the loudest song had the biggest number, 11.91, but obviously, it is negative and i don't understand why.Īfter applying the RG value to the tag, i didn't think it got any louder, so i disregarded it. 7.98 dB for the actual song i would like it to be louder. 11.91 dB for the loudest song i can find, and 6.46 dB for the quietest song i can find, When i scan per-file, the results show Track Gain as So i finally figured out EXACTLY how to use this ReplayGain function on foobar2000, and i'm starting to fuss about where this is going. Pretty recently, i heard about ReplayGain, and it sounded like a good solution.



I've learned about a decade ago about the Normalize function, and i always thought there is no easy solution to 'level' an album.
