General Audio / Re: Replay gain not working properly, audio levels are not norlamized
Last post by rzsolti -Only if you look at the whole albums, which must use the loudest track's correction for the whole album in order to preserve inter-track volume differences, the classical album seems to have a louder finale section. That is not surprising, given that classical music tends to have a huge dynamic range (=loudness differences) within an album.
Thanks, i will try this. However, the courious thing is: the classical music album is just a solo flute + piano, it does not have really load sections, which would make this much album gain nececery.
I usually listen to whole albums, so i thought the album mode made sense

To test this hypothesis, try setting MPD to applying track gain. Now the classical track should sound much closer in volume to Taylor Swift. Applying "Album gain" only makes sense when listening to albums continuously. For most other situations (e.g. shuffling playlists), track gain brings you closer to your goal of maintaining a constant listening volume.

So, in theory, everything is perfect, in practice, however, Taylor Swift is loud and classical music is quiet.
