Those may be the pictures you're talking about, there's also a good explanation of each type of gain. I use constant gain because I like to make playlists and I don't listen to classical, which is probably the most dynamic type of music (lots of very quiet passages). My jazz albums don't seem to suffer from constant gain, but that's completely subjective. MP3Gain is very easy to undo, so feel free to experiment. Quote from the help page I referred to earlier: "Album mode volume-corrects a collection of related songs (as they would appear on a CD, or "album") relative to other collections of songs. Applying Album gain is like adjusting the volume knob once for each CD you put in your CD player. The overall volume of the album is adjusted to the Target Volume, but the volume differences between the mp3s in the album are preserved. For example, if you have 3 songs that have volume levels of 86, 91 and 89 dB, then the overall volume of this "album" will probably be around 89 dB. If the Target Volume is set to 92 dB, then when you apply Album Gain MP3Gain will increase the volume of each of these songs by +3 dB. With Album mode, you want some songs to be noticeably quieter than other songs, just like they are on an album. If you're playing a classical CD, you expect the track with the flute solo to be quieter than the track with the big full-orchestra finale. Album mode allows you to correct an entire album while keeping each song's volume level relative to the other songs." -----Original Message----- From: owner-rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se [mailto:owner-rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se] On Behalf Of Gary Wingert Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2003 2:58 PM To: rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se Subject: OT::MP3 Gain > _data (non-music info) and _new (mp3s that haven't been > cleaned up with MP3 Gain, tags checked etc.). Off-topic, but quick question (I hope) re: MP3 Gain. I have a folder on my JBR that has a bunch of MP3s in it - music from various genres, artists, eras, etc. Some aren't encoded very well (low levels, etc). What is the best way to apply MP3 Gain to everything in that folder so that the low songs get boosted and the loud ones stay about the same? In other words, how can I apply gain to those so I can minimize how often I have to adjust the volume in my car?! There's Track Analysis and Album Analysis and Album, Track, and Constant gains. Not sure what to use.. I once saw a good tutorial on MP3 Gain, with some good graphics somebody did, but I can't find that now. If there are any good links about this, please send those on too. It might be best to reply off-list so we can return to Rockbox topix. Thx.
