Hi,
Interesting, THX for files, but unfortunately both are on same level for me, but 2015 track has real sound dynamics where 2022 track is compressed on all frequencies.
Very interesting as I haven't been doing much sound quality comparison recently, but this is trend today due the fact most people listed music on phones and BT speakers digitally enhancing the sound and not natural sound where speaker actually move the air to your eardrums.
as for MM can you make sure these are enabled:
- Menu Play -> Volume leveling
- Tools options -> player -> Volume leveling -> Set playback per track -> Playback and Target volumes to 95db, enable clip prevention (rest you can leave at defaults) and disable all under General sub-options
If that do not help select low level tracks -> Right click -> Analyze volume and play them again.
You can also try disabling Menu Play -> Volume leveling and also change output plugins at Tools -> Options -> Player -> Output plugins and see if there is any difference. I suspect some sort of Auto Normalization (Windows/Driver possibly) to average peak levels which make Compressed Sound lower than it should.
