How to set up platinum notes 4 archive#
Re-encode my archive flacs using Flac Lossless Level (5) with DSP filter ReplayGain set to Track & Album advanced options EBU R 128 LUFS -18 with clip prevention enabled.Ģ.
This is what I plan doing, please let me know if there's a better way or if I'm doing something stupid :)ġ. That way I know everything has been mastered with dbpoweramp and I can always reapply my settings to new tracks. I've decided to create another normalized copy of my archive using your suggestion. Thank you for your suggestion, and you're correct that I don't care about maintaining intra-album volume levels I just want all my files to be a similar volume level. If I did re-encode my entire library would R128 Track Gain be the best option?

I would just like to use dBpoweramp to match the normalized volume of the software I used previously. I've probably confused myself, I don't no anything about sounds engineering. I'm not sure what scale the Platinum Notes used but it looks like most songs peak around -2 to -1dB the closest I can get is using Fixed Amplification and setting -1dB. If I take a random selection of my library and load the files in a wave editor the do all seem to have a similar wave height. I assume it adjusted the wave so all files had a similar volume when played at say -10dB on my equipment. The previous software I used adjusted all files so they had equal volume and suggested -12.5dB was the optimal setting to maintain the dynamics of the song. If I set the Normalize Volume DSP to Replay Gain and adjust no other setting I get a an even smaller wave amplitude than setting it to -11.5dB. I could re-encode the whole library again but that will probably take days :(
Note, I do not want to use replay gain as my audio software and hardware doesn't support it, that's why I re-encoded my entire collect to a copy with normalized volume.
I've tried using dBPoweramp to normalize the volume with the Volume Normalize DSP filter to re-encode my newly ripped flacs using desired volume of -11.5dB but the resulting files are noticeably quieter than the rest of my collection and if I look at them with a wav editor I can see to wave height is about half compared to my older flac files. Reading through many forums I found dBpoweramp, it seems to have a lot of features and is reasonably priced are very easy to use. Platinum Notes is $100USD which to me is a little pricey for one feature. Last year I ripped my entire CD collection using EAC and normalized the volume using a friends version of Platinum Notes, the only feature of the software we used was the volume output to set my entire collection to -11.5dB.

I've just downloaded the trial and I'm trying to normalize the volume of some CDs I ripped to flac using EAC.
