anyone using AACGain to adjust levels with their itunes files?

[keithace]

assuming aacgain does the same thing as mp3gain, it has the potential to be a waste of time as well.

don't assume that...or assume that's what i am doing...

go read the read me file for aacgain...which is different that mp3gain...

I've never used an "autogain" always used the gain nob on the mixer. If you're concerned about what the program does, I'd err on the side of what you already know how to do.

ok, i just read it. seems to me aacgain is nothing but a front-end that takes care of AAC decoding. the way it computes the loudness of audio files is identical to mp3gain (i.e., by means of the replaygain algorithm).

to clarify, i am just saying that replaygain doesn't make sense for use with traktor as traktor comes with a capable loudness-adjusting mechanism (autogain). if, however, you play back your audio with certain media players, it may make sense to run your stuff through mp3gain or aacgain. but itunes is not one of those media players as it includes an apple-developed proprietary alternative to replaygain called sound check. (i can't speak to the quality of sound check as i don't use itunes.)
