Why compute ReplayGain with -K? #74

Closed q3cpma closed 8 months ago

q3cpma commented 8 months ago

Isn't it a waste to compute it anyway if it's only put in the log file?

The album-wide values at the end of the log are generated via a separate instance and do not require any caching of audio data, so we get them for "free" (the cost is negligible, considering CD drives are much slower than doing some math on each frame). The values are still useful to distinguish between pressings and mastering.

I see, thanks for the fast reply.
