Re: [LAU] digital volume sounds better at 0 dB?

Hi! I can't really tell, what exactly should happen. But a digital volume is best kep around 0DB (no attenuation). Easy to explain: In digital sound, all the samples are numbers (usually integer, meaning just whole numbers). So the smaller you compress the realm of numbers (say from max 32768 to 50%), the differences in volume you can perceive are not as fine. If you get really low down, the sound should be quite ugly. something akin to distortion, if amplified. I don't know about your bassy audiofeeling, but mayhap that's a side effect,I just don't see, because I'm stupid when it comes to the finer points. :-) Kindly yours Julien -------- Music was my first love and it will be my last (John Miles) ======== FIND MY WEB-PROJECT AT: ======== http://ltsb.sourceforge.net the Linux TextBased Studio guide ======= AND MY PERSONAL PAGES AT: ======= http://www.juliencoder.de
