Tips for using Volume Quieten?

[timba]

I'm very confused about the two fields in this DSP - when I change one, I get unexpected results in the other, and when I apply this to a zero dB sine wave I also get an unexpected result. I'm not sure if it's a bug, or just my ignorance about the terms "percentage" and "dB".

In any case, what I want to do is to apply a fairly dramatic EQ DSP to a large number of files and avoid clipping. I've been doing this:

24bit
volume quieten
graphic EQ
normalize
16-bit

but I'm having a hard time getting the volume quieten setting right so that I avoid clipping with the graphic EQ

thanks in advance for any explanation and suggestions!

I personally have never used this, so I cannot directly comment, but there might be some tips in the DSP thread itself: http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?t=12210

Volume Quieten is not part of R12, so this relates to R11.5

If there is clipping decrease the volume in volume quieten.

The beta that was referenced was the dMC r11.5 beta, which is now final, of course.
