Replay Gain

Replay gain will automatically adjust the volume of the currently played song, relative to other songs, as determined by the person who encoded the audio file. To enable replay gain, see Settings menu.

To handle this, Amarok relies on metadata embedded in the audio file:

1. If no replay gain information is embedded, Amarok will not adjust the volume
2. If replay gain information is found, it will be written into Amarok's database

Under afspilningen vil Amarok finde denne information i sin egen database. Ændringer af metadata bliver ikke altid skrevet til databasen under en opdatering af samlingen (fx hvis replay gain slettes fra en fil).

Dette kan føre til uventet opførsel: Numre med den samme kunstner blive afspillet med forskellig lydstyrkeniveauer etc.

Bruges replay gain?

For at finde ud af, om problemer med lysdtyrken skyldes replay gain eller en dårlig indkodning:

• Deaktiver replay gain (se ovenfor)

• Start Amarok i debugtilstand og søg efter output relateret til gain:

amarok -d --nofork | grep gain

Hvis replay gain er aktiv for det afspillede nummer, så er outputtet

Using gain of -10.28 with relative peak of -1

For .flac files, "metaflac" can be used to view embedded replay gain data:

metaflac --list Millencolin\ -\ Balanced\ Boy.flac

Among other things, this will show something like this:

METADATA block #2
 type: 4 (VORBIS_COMMENT)
 is last: false
 length: 390
 vendor string: reference libFLAC 1.2.1 20070917
 comments: 14
   comment[9]: REPLAYGAIN_REFERENCE_LOUDNESS=89.0 dB
   comment[10]: REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_GAIN=-1.55 dB
   comment[11]: REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_PEAK=0.75894165
   comment[12]: REPLAYGAIN_ALBUM_GAIN=-4.19 dB
   comment[13]: REPLAYGAIN_ALBUM_PEAK=0.98712158

To view this tracks information within the Amarok database:

select id, title, albumgain, albumpeakgain, trackgain, trackpeakgain from tracks where title like "Balanced%";

Will show:

+-------+------------------+-----------+---------------+-----------+---------------+
| id    | title            | albumgain | albumpeakgain | trackgain | trackpeakgain |
+-------+------------------+-----------+---------------+-----------+---------------+
| 10459 | Balanced Boy     |      0.53 |      -5.60297 |      0.44 |      -5.60297 |

Note the difference in loudness levels

Delete replay gain information

First, delete the metadata from the file:

metaflac --remove-replay-gain Millencolin\ -\ Balanced\ Boy.flac

After that, update your Amarok collection. If it is still using replay gain, update the database entry:

update tracks set albumgain=-1,albumpeakgain=-1,trackgain=-1,trackpeakgain=-1 where id=10459

Restart Amarok and the log output should now show the updated values being used.

Feel free to try and mess with the values manually to improve volume levels.
