real bout fatal fury sound issue?

[xenyou]

I don't exactly know if this is a issue but I'll report it.

it seems that the volume balance of Mai's BGM is weird.

mister fpga (neogeo core)

some sound is little loud.

mvs (MV-1B. real hardware of mine)

not loud.

ACA Neogeo

this one is similar with mister's one. the same sound is little loud.

Does it depend on the model of MVS?

Yeah I can confirm this issue. There is a sound channel that is too loud.

We finally have some data thanks to Artemio and team. I'm just going to paste in information from him and maybe developers can jump in.

AES vs AES: You can see that accoring to measurement ADPCM-A is too low (or the rest are too loud if you are relative to that) and that curves are filtered differently with ADPCM-B too loud in the high end

MVS 1FS vs Mister: FM is high by about 3db, and ADPCM B is high by about 1.7 db

@paulb-nl, I know that you did some fixing to the audio before, do you think this would be enough information? :)

I adjusted the volume of ADPCM-A to match closely to an AES console and it's sounding better in my opinion.

Here's the build if anyone wants to check it out. Will post the changes as a pull request soon.

Unfortunately, as you can see I haven't changed the filtering at all at this point.
