foobar2000 replaygain reference level seems low

So dBpoweramp looks standard to me and that’s the reason I’d like to adjust foobar2000 rather than dBpoweramp.


Yes, dbpa uses -23 unless the user changes it.  In foobar2000 I don't see a way to change from -18.  I *think* the -18 was used in fb2000 so that the new RG values are similar to the old method RG values created in foobar2000.

Of course, the whole point of ReplayGain is to play back files at the same loudness. Not to play some tracks at double volume. Scanners always need to target the same loudness level that ReplayGain standard specifies, not EBU. Playback software can then be adjusted to any target loudness level that is desired. If you really wish to target your -23 LUFS level you simply open Preferences and move the ReplayGain Preamp slider under Playback options to -5.4.
