DSP 'Volume Normalize' options: Relation between 'Maximum Amplification' and 'Desired

[twie]

I got into confusion reading the official DSP help page about Volume Normalize (https://DSP 'Volume Normalize' optio...lume' settings).

Is the help page clear enough? There is written:

"Desired Volume can be set higher than 0 dB (which is maximum), setting 12 dB is 4x the maximum, ..."

The maximum value (for this option) is 0 dB. To what is "... setting 12 dB..." corresponding?

Could anybody explain in more detail the relation between the set 'Maximum Amplification' value and the obviously corresponding 'Desired Volume' value?

Maximum amplification is the allowed multiplication factor, if set to 2 then the volume will only be able to be twice as loud.

The Desired volume is the level at which replaygain tries to match to.

to

The Desired volume is the level at which replaygain tries to match to.

If there's written "... can be set higher than 0 dB ..." then I understand for example to +1 dB. The implemented slider allows at max 0 dB only. What is my missunderstanding?

You can type into the box.

You can type into the box.

Thanx, the limiting slider (vs. possible box values) was my misunderstanding.
