I just wonder because the sound is very low.Is there something i can change to get a higher volume?
And is the track gained with 9.0dB or with 0(Its 0 in the Azid log)

Thanks for help.

The gain asserted is the besweet's 9 dB's, so that looks good. But you could try using 'normal' for dynamic compression.

hope this helps

HI!

Thanks for the help!! ;)I will try with Normal Dynamic Compression.

[Cantide]

That was fast!
Glad to help
Normal compression should give you a volume similar to that of a hardware dvd player. Never tried high compression though, but you probably loose too much dynamic range.

why don't you use BeSweetGUI's preset ?
