First, the reason I have been curious about this: I have mp3s on my ipod which I just recently "normalized" using mp3gain because I really like having a somewhat consistent volume. I realized today that some of my classical pieces, particular choral/opera pieces, were replaygained LOUDER, up to the 89db reference, and that this introduced clipping in some of the peaks in the vocals which is painful to hear. BZZZZZZZZZZTTT!
Is this common? I often let my jukebox software handle replaygain on my (stationary) FLAC library but always assumed any clipping was from a poor mastering job. Is there a way to only allow replay-gain to lower volume, or do I need to just give up on having consistency?
