I use Grip to rip my CD's and encode them to ogg files. Doing that, I
could use vorbisgain to add tags according to the recorded level of
each song, directly in Grip. This makes all songs play at the same
level in i.e. XMMS. However, I want the tags calculated per album, so
that the dynamics is retained as the artist intended it to be, making
soft songs play soft and loud songs play loud.
How's that different from not playing with gain, and ripping/encoding
them as they are?
Well, albums have different overall levels, making some a lot louder
than others (rock albums for instance.) Vorbisgain makes this difference
smaller, but retains the dynamic differences between the songs on an
album if used in the correct mode.
The importance of this little feature is probably not great, as I have a
volume control, ;-) but it's there, it's relatively easy to use so why
not?
Anyway, I thought this would be of interest for ogg users, but after
posting it realised that it's probably off topic here, and maybe even
not the best forum for this kind of info. Or?
