Too bad no one seems to care about (or even notices) this problem. Here's another example of a horrible volume normalization. Play these 2 songs one after the other. This time it's not only at the start of a song, but throughout the whole song that the volume normalization is totally off.https://deezer.page.link/YgUFLMMnS3E8s6Cg7https://deezer.page.link/i3BKGZ7pAgQNTTDSA Today a new version for Android was available, and we got .... an improved SongCatcher ...Really? That's not what I was waiting for...Why not put a little more effort into a decently working audio player instead of trivialities or bad imitations of features that other apps already have and do much better?After all you’re a music service.Some suggestions for improvement:a decent working volume normalization crossfader like Spotify had for ages, Apple Music is even 2 steps ahead with their automatic crossfader instead of a time based one (on Android). Avoiding silences between songs is a feature we already had on desktop
Hi JaimeThanks for the reply and for watching into this.I initially noticed the problem on my different Samsung Android phones (did you test an Android device too?). Anyway, now that you mentioned the web player, I also did the same test with the web player on a Windows 10 pc and guess what, the problem occurs every time here too!So it really seems like a crossplatform software problem.Strange that you can't simulate the problem, so here are a few video recordings.The following video shows the Deezer webplayer, the volume blast is at 00:15 (playtime in your videoplayer, not the Deezer playtime in the recorded video)https://1drv.ms/v/s!As5rbPDrShKsqCf3la3JXPQ8QYbw?e=Yk4p9Q In the next video I made the audio visible, the blast is (audible and now also clearly visible) at 00:18https://1drv.ms/v/s!As5rbPDrShKsqCYNayBx30IJLTJm?e=2ueNLe In case you still miss the “blast”, here it is in the 2nd video: Don’t forget, when you do a test, the transition from song 1 to song 2 should be played auto
Anybody home? Does anybody even care?
Hi YulaYes that’s obvious, if you disable volume normalization then the problem with volume normalization disappears 😀But that's not the point I suppose. Is this something that the developers will look into?By the way, I have meanwhile noticed that the problem also occurs in HQ audio mode. So the problem is not really related to HIFI mode.
I’m also on the Hifi plan, but I don’t think that volume normalizing alters the music quality. At least, it shouldn’t. Isn’t volume normalization all about ReplayGain values (or some simular algorithm) stored in the metadata of each FLAC file that lets the playing device preset the volume for the upcoming song?
Tidal has videos, and has it brought them success? I doubt it, I read that they are at a loss and will most likely be taken over. Even the artist co-owners leave the sinking ship. I was a Tidal subscriber myself and I left because their music recommendations were rather focused on the repertoire of the owners. Being offered the latest Jay-Z album every time you open the app is not what I'm looking for in a streaming service. Am I missing their videos? No, I never watched them. I was also a Spotify subscriber. I left because of the lack of a cross-genre playlist that you can turn on in the morning to listen to it all day long. Their daily mixes and recommendations are very good but once you select one you are stuck in a particular genre for the rest of the listening time. Spotify has no videos, but it does have canvas, which is a kind of short video, a number of images that are played in a loop like a GIF. Have I ever watched it? No, that was the first option for me to disable. I was al
