> We need to discuss that before we go back to the old system of reducing mixxx's volume by 50% again.
I do not want to do that. It just turn out that most of my tracks are original leveled for a peak at 1.0. and a the mean value of the replay gain is ~0.5. So if we assume 0.5 as a default gain, it has nothing todo with a mixing headroom we have discussed, it is just the attempt to predict the correct replay gain.
If a DJ likes to Mixxx with 1.0 leveled tracks, he may try, but the clipping light will be lit even if he plays the track at unity.
This is the essence of the original bug report we have to fix.
I have asked for objection, since from my point of view we had already fruitful discussion. I have outlined a final conclusion and I like to work on it now, since time is running out. Since I do not want to do the a fight at the PR it should be the last chance for others to argue against it if my view is wrong.
Asking "do people agree?" implies waiting for an explicit final go, which I have never got in similar discussions.
