I was the unfortunate victim of WinAMP for many, many years. Recently, to celebrate the millionith random crash, I decided to hose it and install foobar, for the benefit of all involved.
However, one small lingering trouble remains.
Due to a limited space setup, I use a pair of headphones instead of speakers for my audio. I don't like the restricted feeling that comes from wearing them 24/7, so I usually leave them on the floor, and turn the volume way up. This provides me with nice, room filling sound for non-intensive music consumption.
However, on most tracks, the volume does tend to be a little bit low. In WinAMP, I compensated by boosting the preamp a little bit.
In foobar, however, no matter what I put for ReplayGain, it has no effect. Yes, I do adjust both the "with RG info" and "without RG info" sliders, and I have tried both of the source mode settings (track / album). Even with the headphones on my head, I detect absolutely no difference between -12dB and +12dB.
So far the only solution I could impose was to move all the EQ sliders to the top. However, this solution is less than ideal - I'd rather use EQ for EQ, and a ReplayGain / preamp for overall volume boosting.
Am I missing something really obvious, or is the ReplayGain support in foobar 0.9 busted / non-functioning?
Thanks in advance to all who can help this imbecile newb out
