I’m presuming then that the only place where the R128 values has relevance is in comparing different masterings of tracks / albums?
I still have difficulty here as I thought the DR (R128) value would somehow be an indicator on its own so that I could surmise something with a R128 value of 1 would most likely be a brickwalled mess.
So I fully expected this to be 1
but not this
And surprisingly (to me) it’s not even that one is 1.0 and the other 1.4.
From the graphical representation these 2 files don’t “look” to have the same dynamic range and certainly the Beatles track sounds well mastered while the ASH track is headache inducing.
and this reads 4.4?
how could this have more dynamic range than the Beatles track above?
