Audacity Forum

I still do not know where the problem lies and so who is the perpetrator [ https://forums.mp3tag.de/index.php?showtopic=21176 ], but at least there is a working workaround to this bug https://forums.mp3tag.de/index.php?showtopic=21269 All credit for that neat workaround goes to ryerman [ https://for...

Having a ReplayGain "please make it louder" instruction applied to it [and "pumped too much" would be when a clipping occurs] if FLAC is pumped up ReplayGain tags should only tell the player how much gain to apply to the audio on playbac...

ReplayGain is designed to help media players play back files at a similar volume level. I've never come across an audio editor that takes any notice of ReplayGain tags. But to FLACs? Or are you talking overall? I'm using old Sony Sound Forge 7.0 for editing. If the ReplayGain in MP3 file is not low...
