qeds Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Hi! I am unable to get replaygain work, what I am doing is setting it to "Apply Gain/prevent clipping according to peak" and the source to "Track". When I then play a track with replaygain tags it does not change its volume according to the tags. The tags have been set by foobar2000 on per-file track scan. To test replaygain I have a track where I lowered the volume using audacity before exporting it and applying the tags with foobar2000. Do not I am currently using the demo version of the app but plan to purchase the full version after the test time has run out. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 What do you see in (menu)=>Info/Tags when you are playing such a tagged song? Does it show the expected RG numbers? Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qeds Posted November 4, 2023 Author Share Posted November 4, 2023 Thank you for such a swift answer, info/tags Indeed gives me the expected values for both Track Gain and Peak on the songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Are these normal audio formats - MP3 or FLAC for example - or something esoteric like OGG or Opus ? I have some test files which are configured exactly as you describe: the same music re-saved at various attentuation levels, with and without RG tags, and they behave exactly as expected (up to a maximum RG adjustment amount of about 20dB) Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qeds Posted November 4, 2023 Author Share Posted November 4, 2023 Sorry I forgot to mention, the files are all flac. Though I believe it may be an issue with something other than Poweramp as I tested it in vanilla music player and it didn't work there either.

qeds Posted November 4, 2023 Author Share Posted November 4, 2023 Two things: It works perfectly in VLC on pc but not on mobile, and it just started working on Poweramp and I have no idea why. I'll probably play around with it a little more just to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Here are some test files of mine. 1kHz tone recorded at digital 100%, then at -10dB, -20dB, -30dB and -40dB. Then the exact same files but with RG tags embedded. RG Tests 1kHz.zip With RG enabled, the first three RG-tagged files should play at identical levels, but the -30dB and -40dB files may not get boosted quite as high because PA doesn't apply RG values beyond a certain amount.

qeds Posted November 4, 2023 Author Share Posted November 4, 2023 Thank you so much for the test files! Yeah it seams like everything has just started to work. I'm starting to believe that I just messed up the tagging and that's why it didn't work before. Regardless, thank you so much for all the help!
