I noticed that ReplayGain values calculated by dBpa CD Ripper and dBpa Music Converter (MacOS, Release 2024-11-01) differ from those calculated by PerfectTUNES (MacOS, Release 2024-10-06). Obviously, ReplayGain settings are the same in all cases:
- Albums identified by: Album ID tag
- Gain calculation: EBUR128 -18dB
- Maximum gain: 25dB
- Disable clipping prevention: NO
- True Peak factor: 4X
I made also comparison with those calculated by another ripping application (XLD). In conclusion:
RG with dBpa CD Ripper = RG applied by dBpa Converter to previous rips but ≠ RG applied by PerfectTUNES
RG applied by PerfectTUNES = RG applied by XLD
In the attached screenshots you can see the ReplayGain values for the same album applied by dBpa CD Ripper, dBpa Music Converter, and PerfectTUNES.
Is there any explanation for these discrepancies? Before proceedings with a larger number of CD ripping, I would like to know which ReplayGain method I should rely on. dBpa (Ripper otr Converter) or PerfectTUNES?
Thank you.
