How to Implement +6db on dsf:wav transcode?

[emilien]

Hi,
I have the same issue with DSF transcoded to WAV 24/176.
Is there a way to apply the convOut function only to DSF to apply a higher gain?
Thanks !

The convOut setting is global and applies to all files transcoded by the stream converter program (ffmpeg).

It is possible to make ffmpeg apply output gain based on ReplayGain information tagged in the file. Could you add this tagged information to your DSF files?

Thank you Simon, The problem is I don't know what field to fill in MP3 tag, and I can't see any "ReplayGain" tag...

It's not a standard tag - you'd need to change MP3Tag settings to show it. I think the tag is "replaygain_album_gain" (or "replaygain_track_gain"). There is also a replaygain_album_peak tag but you may not need that.

You may be able to do it using dBPoweramp Batch Converter's ID Tag Update, or ReplayGain, utility codecs. The first will be for adding an absolute value (eg. "+6 dB" (without the quotes), the second will calculate it based on some algorithm or other.

I also don't know if this works with DSF though. It might be worth asking:

Thank you , I will try it.

One the subject if I have these:

convOut=-af aresample=resampler=soxr:precision=28; -af volume=+6dB

flac:wav, dsf:wav24;176

Do i use sox only for the dsf convert and thus only increase these with 6dB?

[simoncn]

Yes, that's correct. The flac:wav conversion is performed internally within MinimStreamer, so the convOut settings don't apply.

Thats great. Thanks for confirming!
