Re: Volume vs Gain?

But if you read some of the sources in the other link, you can find engineers going into detail about how they actually go about it as a deliberate choice, Sure, but I've heard all sorts of abominations holding high the flag of "mastering" ;) But for the time being, I am not afraid to all...

Re: Any way to improve this so-so audio stream?

Re: Volume vs Gain?

I'm not sure how you have managed it, but you have defeated the magic of 32 bit float format. The peaks are entirely "chopped off" at 0 dB. I presume that at some point in the process the audio has been converted to an integer format. This is a close-up of your audio sample: firsttrack003....
