aac audio

[boombastic]

I usually encode ac3 to mp3 with hybridgain in BeSweet but last time i tried aac:i know that you can't use hybridgain so i set postGain to maximum but during the playback voices are ok if there isn't music too,but whene there is music,voices volume is too low.How can i correct these during playback?I use MediaPlayerClassic.And i can avoid this with the encoding?Thanks!

Did you use "Dynamic Compression" with Normal or Light mode ???

[boombastic]

I use always normal or heavy too but i couldn't hear any differences

Postgain should not be used at this time for AAC, no decoders support it. Hybridgain uses postgain as one of the gaining methods, so it shouldn't be used either. The currently recommended method is to add a --maximize to your azid section (pregain), if you need more help :logfile:

is there a problem using hybridgain with aac?
afaik it works the same as with vorbis but only the postgain part doesnt work (which will not work anyways if you dont use a decoder that can use the postgain info, ie i doubt that hardware player will handle it)
