What has changed with Volume levelling in 992?

Post by Anubis »

I just installed .992. Did some rips to MP3.
I noticed that the volume levelling field was filled in, which none of my previous rips have had. Upon listening to some of the tracks, the music was seriously clipping.
I installed .992 and tried this again another machine. Same thing.
So I backed out (re-installed) the previous version I was using, .985, and re-ripped and listened. The volume levelling field is not filled in and there is no clipping.
I did not change ANY settings for the install of .992 or when I went back to .985.
Has something changed with how volume levelling is handled between .985 and .992?

Incorrect volume leveling value for CD Rip

Post by rusty »

Anubis,

You're right. The problem was introduced in a recent build when we decided to show the volume leveling value for tracks that were converted/ripped.

The problem occurs only when 'Level Track Volume' is enabled. The conversion is working corrrectly, but MM is assigning a volume leveling value based on the pre-conversion volume rather than after the track's volume has been adjusted.

I'll post an update shortly.
