Re: Replay Gain model lost
Did you backup anything on the laptop, before it broke, like the registry?
How many flacs do you have, you could consider re-writing the RG tags for all flacs?
Most use -18 lufs target.
Re: Replay Gain model lost
Take an existing file, look at the replaygain values, then run replaygain again on that album, adjust until you get the same first values.

Early on, the default RG in dbpa was -23 LUFS. That was too quiet for me too. I was using -18 instead (as it matched up well with the older ReplayGain model). dbpa later changed default to -18. Perhaps you were using -18 too.

Good idea, I may try that.

I do have a system backup, whether that contains such things as the registry I don;t know. And it was an entirely different machine (Intel Windows 7, new one is AMD Windows 10). I suppose it may be possible to have a look but I wouldn't really know where to start!
I have around 10,000 tracks/files - not something I'd like to redo!

Ahhh -23 rings a bell. When was it changed? I can't remember when I had the original dbpa and codec installed, but I guess around 3 years ago for the codec - or if it is in dbpa instead, that would have been nearer 5 years ago.
Anyway, thanks for all the replies/suggestions! Minor panic over :)
Re: Replay Gain model lost
Excellent. Just did what Spoon suggested. -18 matched it, so that is what it was. I must have had the older one with -23 default :)
Thanks again all

Yes, that was a good idea, as long as you are certain all 10,000 flacs were tagged the same.

Yup, I did all my library in batches at the same time. New things added used the same since.
