Re: mp3gain question

Graeme,

The way I do it is to find the lowest gain needed to eliminate clipping from
any file.  That turned out to be 83 dB for my set.  I then processed
everything to that level.

Subject: [AT] mp3gain question

MP3s made from vinyl record, all show around 88-90 dB volume and are way too
quiet on the AT compared to burned CDs which come in at 92-98 dB.
But even if I set the "Target Normal Volume" to 90 rather than the 89
default, it shows tracks will be clipped. If I set it to the mid-nineties in
order to be similar to the CD volumes, all tracks will be clipped.
Why?
Is there no way to get vinyl MP3s to the same volume as CDs without
clipping?

Thanks for any info.
