How to match volume for ABX 5.1 to stereo
Reply #5 – 2013-04-17 01:45:39
Isn't applying replay gain enough? I just tried doing it from foobar and it did sound the same volume for me. I am using 5.1 headphones though, so I can't really advise anything with respect to rear/center speakers. Maybe make linux fill up the speakers similar to foobar's DSP? Here's the result of my test:foo_abx 1.3.4 report foobar2000 v1.2.3 2013/04/17 02:32:55 File A: D:\Music\Ar tonelico I\Ar tonelico Hymmnos Concert Side Crimson ~Tsukikanade~\06. みとせのりこ - EXEC_SUSPEND/..flac File B: D:\Music\Ar tonelico I\Ar Tonelico Tiny Hymmnos Concert 5.1\03.

The two tracks are different in the second part, so I only tested the first one where they are in sync. As for the source, those come from the soundtrack of the game. edit: wasn't there somewhere a thread here on HA where a test file showing that positional information can also be stored in two channels was posted? I remember something about a barber, that file gave me the creeps cause it sounded so realistic... despite being "only" 2.0 P.S.: I should stop posting at 3am after working the whole day. My sentences stop making sense.
