Hi again
Still doing some research before heading out to buy my Ipod and making a start on ripping my CD collection.
One of the things I was planning to do was write ReplayGain tags for my tracks. I'll be using Foobar Ipod Manager, and this has a feature which converts RG data to Soundcheck.
I've experimented with a few rips and the RG is making the tracks a LOT quieter. The tag info usually states somewhere between -10 to -8dB. IPod's obviously have an upper vol limit. And from what I've read, it's lower for iPods in the UK (/EU?). So I'm interested to hear how people in the UK/EU are getting on with their iPods with Soundcheck on (still interested in the views of those outside the EU)?
I'm using dbPoweramp for all my ripping. There is a setting: "EBU R128 Calculated Gain -23 LUFS Target Volume". I've already changed that to -18. Would putting this higher potentially help? Would there be any downsides?
Cheers
Max
