In Reply to: RE: Winamps volume is 200% full scale. Not 100% like Foobar. posted by Presto on December 07, 2007 at 13:31:17
to the same track, switching between Foobar 0.9.x with default (not Otachan) ASIO and Winamp 5.35 with Otachan ASIO. The loudness was the same, to my ears. BTW, I'm pretty sure (not at home now - can't check) that volume controls became disabled in both Foobar and Winamp.I could best describe the difference as Winamp sounding "smoother" - less sibilance on vocals, softer - but not less extended - highs. I don't think this kind of preference can be attributed to difference in loudness.
One of the tracks used was "Embraced By Darkness" by Saturnus, that has
high amount of continuous high-frequency content (cymbals) starting at the beginning of the track.I still think that all these loudness anomalies (or lack thereof) are results of interaction with particular pieces of software, in my case EMU drivers.

Hey Carcass93:
When you said there were no level disparities, I thought you did an actual level check.
All you need is a test tone that is -6 or -12dbfs. 0db is no good because if Winamp IS adding 6db gain, you wont see this on a VU meter unless the range of the VU meter goes over 100% (over full scale). When you play the test tone from EITHER foobar or winamp you should get the same "VU levels" for either situation.
I was getting different levels with Winamp (+6db) which is what had me quite concerned.
Cheers,
Presto
