What is ReplayGain mode?

Introduction. ReplayGain is the name of a technique invented to achieve the same perceived playback loudness of audio files. It defines an algorithm to measure the perceived loudness of audio data. Pulsar supports both track gain and album gain, and even can work smarter to choose the mode automatically.

Should I use ReplayGain?

There is no harm in always adding replay gain, though it will take a bit longer to rip the file because it has to analyze it to compute the replay gain level. But once that flag is set in the file, if you don’t like the effect you can always tell the playback device to ignore it.

What streaming services use ReplayGain?

ReplayGain is a software released in 2001, which analyzes a signal’s integrated LUFS, as well as the signal’s peak, and either amplifies or attenuates a signal according to a set ‘Target Loudness. ‘ This software is used for popular streaming services such as Spotify and affects music on that streaming service.

What is album gain?

Album gain would compensate for the variations in recording level between different record companies or even between different discs from the same company – it will avoid having to twiddle the volume dial when changing album.

What is a good LUFS level?

The best mastering level for streaming is an integrated -14 LUFS, as it best fits the loudness normalization settings of the majority of streaming services. Although other measurements like the true peak value and other metrics need to be considered, -14 LUFS is the best mastering level when considering loudness.

How is ReplayGain calculated?

The audio file is first scanned with a psychoacoustic algorithm to determine the loudness of the audio data. A ReplayGain value is then calculated by measuring the difference between the analyzed loudness and the desired level. Measurements of peak audio levels are taken to keep the sound from distorting or clipping.
