ACPD: Factor In Metadata Gain Adjustment
Posted: 10 May 2013 10:04
Good morning Bernd,
One thing that has been long bothering me about PFOA is that when setting ACPD cue points, it does not adjust these for gain adjustments. So the cue points for a given track are always set at the same position, no matter whether I crank the gain up, turn it down, or leave it as-is.
In my opinion, it would be desireable for the ACPD algorithm to keep the Gain setting in mind when calculating cue points.
Example:
In Mixing/Fading, I have defined Cue-in and Cue-out to be set at −79 dB, and Next at −30 dB. Now, if I adjust the Gain for a track by, say, +3 dB, these points should then automatically be set at −82 and −33 dB, respectively. Concurrently, if I adjust the Gain to, say, −2 dB, these points should be set at −77 and −28 dB, respectively.
A similar adjustment could be made when using ReplayGain (which I don’t, so I don’t know whether that is not already the case).
I hope you understand what I mean.
Kind regards
Sven
