Mp3 Gain or Platinum Notes?

[Jester]

yep, PN makes a new file, then its up to you to decide if the new version sounds better or not. I used to use it all the time with low quality vinyl rips etc but tbh if your tunes of of decent quality its pointless. I would say use it for tunes 192 - 256 kbps, anything above wont make a difference.

For mp3 gain, yeah use 94-96 and analyze your whole collection and use the track gain option.

so what's the better software here jester? not all my files are 320

[Jester]

Well, i would use mp3gain regardless whether you have run the tunes thru PN or not. In your situation i would recommend using PN for only your tracks that are 256kbps or below ... leave the 320's be
The way i do it is run everything through MiK, then mp3gain is the last step in the process before gridding etc. Have not used PN for about 2 years tbh.

is it better to run tracks that are 256 or lower thru PN or mp3gain?

[Jester]

PN is more for fixing clips and dynamics etc. Mp3Gain adjusts nothing but the volume.

I vote none.

Gain knobs made mp3gain pointless like a hundred years ago.

As for PN…if you have problems with your tracks, buy better music.
