From the main menu, click Tools > Options > Player > Volume Leveling. On the configuration panel set:
This value is used to calculate the volume leveling adjustment that appears in the tracklist. For instance, if the baseline is set to 89db instead of 83db, the figures that appear in the volume leveling coefficient column of the tracklist will automatically adjust.
This value also determines the volume to which Tracks are leveled when 'Level Track Volume' is used to level the volume of existing Tracks, or for Tracks that are to be Ripped or Converted. If you are planning on exporting Tracks to a portable device, you may want to experiment with increases to the Baseline Volume Level (see note below).
This option causes volume analysis to proceed only on Tracks that do not yet have a volume coefficient calculated. Since volume analysis is absolute (i.e. the coefficient does not vary depending on the sample of Tracks analyzed) there is little reason to disable this function.
This sets the desired volume level when Level Playback Volume is enabled.
If this is enbaled, then the MediaMonkey player will play back Tracks that have volume Leveling coefficients at a level volume. It has no effect on Tracks that do not have a volume leveling coefficient.
This value is used to set the volume of Audio CDs that are burned via MediaMonkey, if volume leveling is enabled when the CD is burned.
Clipping prevention ensures that volume leveling doesn't result in clipping of the audio Track. It does so by limiting the volume adjustment when possible clipping is detected.
Note: The default volume levels are set to a somewhat low 83db for several reasons:
1) A baseline volume level of 83db yields figures in the volume leveling coefficient field that are more representative of what is stored in the tag
2) It is more conservative in terms of limiting clipping
3) It is a closer approximation to the volume level used for many CDs
That said, there's no reason why these levels cannot be increased to 89db, which may yield better results, especially if you plan on Leveling Track Volume for playback on other devices.
