Playback Leveling is not what I am trying to understand. That is good feature and I often switch Playback Level Album to track / vice versa depends on playlist/collection playing, No confusion on that point.
My query is generic in nature trying to explain again :
1.
I was comparing two versions of same album which was ripped in different period. However source was same but earlier ripped tracks was -7.7 and newer rip came analysed as -3.7. (My default is 89) But while listening -7.7 produced louder sound than -3.7. Why and how it is. (Obviously, this is without Playback Leveling, After Playback Leveling enabled both sounds 'almost' same).
- So my query is why same album ripped multiple times produced different volume level. (Possible answer is change in rip settings but afa I remember settings are also same)
2.
While comparing two similar albums, Sometimes I found one version is louder other is little quite. What is best practice to retain better album in collection. Shall I delete louder one or quite one?
3.
Sometimes 320kbps sounds low (quite) than 192kbps. In such case shall I keep 320kbps which is better in bitrate term but sound quality is low or retain 192kbps version which is low in bitrate term but produced good sound quality?
4.
What is standard track level to keep in collection? I suppose -1db to -6db is better, correct me if I am wrong.
5.
In normal case a track analysed as -11db should produced lower sound quality [since gross db is 78db (89db-11db=78db)] AND the track analysed as -3db should produced louder sound quality [since gross db is 87db (89db-3db=86db)]. Is it true?
