Ivolume replygain1/8/2024 If the culture is now more scientific, then I'd suggest we just join and call it a day. Most of the give and take on this forum is derived from a "just sounds better", then responding with "why, what's your system" then replying " here's what I'm doing" kind of thing. There are very few empirical experiments, double blinds and Nobel prize winning thesis's here. I'm sure Patrick will give us more details, but to start out and call him a troll, and that he must be doing something very wrong is quite harsh, especially for a forum that began as a subjective comparison of headphones. My gosh, this thread reminds me of the "burn her, she's a witch" scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I mostly listen to albums (flac files are albums in my collection, I ripped them as "create image and cue file") so rg'ing isn't as much of a temptation anyway. I think it hurts the dynamics and overall sounds processed. So the lesson here is don't turn on replaygain unless you absolutely have to, it only decreases the sound quality (by quite a bit actually, my rig just jumped from blah to totally freakin' awesome again!) and make sure you don't accidentially turn it on either. I immediately disabled replaygain and was greated by the incredibly detailed and transparent sound that I remembered getting out of the 1212 when it first arrived. Then I realized something: for some reason "use album gain" had been selected for replaygain within Foobar (which I normally have set on "disabled"). Having just got the EMU 1212 two weeks ago I was wondering how I could have been so impressed by this card only a short time ago because now my rig sounded like crud. I couldn't figure out what was wrong but I had a hunce it must have to do with my source. ReplayGain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Their sound check feature doesn't work that well and there's still noticable differences between volume. Things just didn't sound right the detail wasn't there and the tonal character of things was just wrong-everything sounded stuffy and digitized (for a lack of a better word). I'd been frustrated by the sound of my rig as of late.
