Apply Replaygain requires allready precomputed gain values, instead use the 'Volume Normalize' dsp with the replaygain option selected.

Re: dBpoweramp Music Converter OS X Discussions

Thanks for your feedback.

Re DSP:
Other DSPs seem to work in CD Ripper, I'll check ReplayGain against what the Windows version of dBpoweramp does.
Update: "Apply Gain" / album Gain does not work in CD ripper in the Windows version either. Calculating Album Gain works fine.

Re dynamic naming picker:
Bug confirmed and fixed - it does not add stuff when the textbox is currently empty - fixed for the next update.

Hey
If I remember correctly, calculaing album replaygain and setting it in the tags (FLAC files for me) used to work fine for me on beta 5.
"Apply gain/album gain" works only if the audio files you're processing are replaygained track/album (ID tags)
Hope you'll find the fix for the issue I've posted.

R1.2 beta 7 up, hopefully the last beta before R1.2 stable:

Bugs have been fixed, two missing features from Windows version ( cache size detection and C2 capability detection ) have been added.

Which exact effect are you using? what settings are on the effect?

Re: dBpoweramp Music Converter OS X Discussions

Just thought of a feature I would like to see in the Mac version. Could we have some way of telling the length (time) of audio track(s). In the Windows version it is found by right-clicking the file(s) > Properties > Audio Properties. I had hoped it would be there in Yosemite under the 'Services' bit of the right-click menu, but, alas, no.

Re: dBpoweramp Music Converter OS X Discussions

Just tried to rip a disc using release 1.2 beta 4. Failed. Reported errors on every track. Retried using my 'backup' DVD drive which usually copes perfectly with copy-protected discs. Again failed, so tried my Windows version. Ripped no problems using my 'backup' drive. I haven't yet updated to release 15.2 beta, perhaps I'd better try that?

Just installed 15.1. Ripped OK using my Mac Superdrive.

Re: dBpoweramp Music Converter OS X Discussions

The latest v15.1 is having problems doing Multi-Encodes, which I thought was fixed a while ago. I'm starting with a 24bit 44.1k WAV file and am doing a 256kMP3 and adding dithering to 16bit. At the same time I'm converting to another WAV with dither applied for a 16bit version. The process starts by creating file names for each version, then silently crawls to a halt.

I can do either of these encodes individually, so it's not a problem with the original files.


Ideas?

Re: dBpoweramp Music Converter OS X Discussions

Apologies to Spoon, I found the problem. Since I have a Mac with 24 processors, dBpoweramp uses them all... which is GREAT, except when it's trying to write 24 WAV files at one time. The poor little hard-drive I'm writing to just can't keep up.

Sorry for the accusation. ;-)

Re: dBpoweramp Music Converter OS X Discussions

The next update will add an option to limit the number of used threads (default: 8).

Also, curious: are you converting both from and to a spinning disk? From my experience, reading multiple files simultaneously is worse than writing as writing goes thru write cache which greatly reduces the amount of HDD seeking involved.

Re: dBpoweramp Music Converter OS X Discussions

Hey guys, I'm wondering if there will be a version of the Monkeys Audio codecs for the OS X version. I've come up against a large crop of APE files in my library I need to convert to Apple Lossless, but can't find APE for the Mac version of dBpoweramp. Otherwise everything is going swimmingly for me on 15.2, thanks! :D

Re: dBpoweramp Music Converter OS X Discussions

It should make R16 of the OSX version.

Thanks, Spoon! :D

Re: dBpoweramp Music Converter OS X Discussions

As a Mac user my existing uncompressed music files have the extension .aiff
But dBpoweramp uses the Win like shortend extension .aif

So I have to rename all my new rips from dBp to have it consistent... which adds an unnecessary step.
I didn't find a way to configure that in dBp? Could you tell me how, or add it to the next version? Pretty please!
