I was listening to a foreign objects cd my friend downloaded for me and he set the volume leveling to max and my ears were blasted when the first song kicked in. I don't usually ever get angry but when that happened I was seriously pissed lol

[QUOTE=Luc214;15749066]Oh btw I fixed the Ribspreader problem, turns out the idiot that ripped the album I downloaded had set the volume settings at +100% gain. :lol:[/QUOTE]

I ****ing hate when people do that.

I like 100% gain :/

well that's because you don't know **** about equal loudness contours.

Well wait, does this count for the volume adjustment settings for itunes or is this something completely different.

I'm a noob at anythingthing musically related aside from plugging in a microphone and yell into it overtop of my friends playing mediocre deathcore.

Yeah I checked the volume adjustment in itunes, and instead of being in the middle (IE no artificial volume gain) the slider had been set to plus 100%.

Ribspreader is pretty awesome.

For the record the volume leveler thing on my new iPod doesn't work for crap. It makes the music go back and forth between really loud and really soft. Gay! I'm better off just leaving it be.

Why don't you guys just get well ripped music? I've never had that problem.

The leveler is stupid as hell on the iPod. It makes it so you can't turn it up very loud at all.

If I'm getting a cd for free online i'm not gonna delete it because the bitrate is different than what I use. I'll just suck it up.

<<done complaining!

Do any of you guys use the sound enhancer feature in iTunes? I've been listening to music with it on 100% for about a week now and I like it much better.

Yeah, it's pretty awesome.

How do you use it?

Edit - Preferences - Playback

[QUOTE=Ghoul Hunter;15752919]Edit - Preferences - Playback[/QUOTE]

I'll have to try that. Of course I usually use my iPod instead of my computer. I can hook that up to my surround sound easier.

What does this sound enhancer do?

Enhances sound, but don't quote me on that.

Profound

I think it may add some harmonics onto the bass notes, so the listener is fooled into thinking that their stereo system is pumping out more bass than it really is. Among other things, I've read that it messes with the phase of some of the higher notes to increase the stereo image.

Yea, this is common even in recording these days, so that you can still hear the kick drum and bass guitar even on stereos with small speakers that can't physically reproduce lower frequencies. WAVES makes a badass plugin that does this.

Phase has nothing to do with stereo imaging, lol. Whoever wrote that is either talking out of his *** or referring to something else.

Why do you guys use iTunes anyway? it blows

Winamp ftw!

iTunes works fine for me.

i recently got Demigod's Slumber of Sullen Eyes and i really like it so far

iTunes is easily the best i've found. Mainly if you have an iPod.

Winamp is the best imo.

I used to use it but I find it pretty bad now.

why are you so backward

I like iTunes. Plus since I have an iPod the integration is seamless.
