    Volume Normalize vs Replay Gain DSP

    I'm a LONG term dbpoweramp user. I just got a brand new Mac Mini to replace my old iMac.

    In CD Ripper on my old computer i had the DSP Volume Normalize set to EBU R128 (track gain)as part of the ripping process. My goal is to normlize the volume level of the tracks on every CD i rip so i can avoid the constant raising and lowering of playback whern listening to my ripped files.

    When installing dbpoweramp and looking to duplicate my set up, i scrolled past the Replay Gain DSP. It seems to do the ssame thing and i am unclear what the differences are.

    My goal is NOT to apply tags to the music files, but to actually change the level of the music as i rip it. Is Volume Normalize the right DSP to do this?

    Yes it is. I use it a lot. What I have noticed is that songs with less different instruments tend to get too loud. So like a heavy metal guitar song will sound normal, but if just someone singing comes on next, it will be very loud.
    I've been using the same Volume Normalize DSP to lower such songs.

      Replaygain just writes tags and requires a compatible player, Volume Normalize changes the volume of the audio

        Thank you both. Exactly what I had hoped, but my mind was fuzzy.
