Shannon's Journal Discussion

[Shannon]

Any of you guys playing the FLAC hybrid on the iPhone?

Seems really loud even at 40% volume, what you guys got the volume on? (earphones)

I said the same thing to Shannon. My trickling stream hybrid in Frequensee has the ultrasonic about 15-20 decibels louder than the masked stream part. He said it's only 1-2 decibels different but my Frequensee shows like 15-20 decibels difference, makes calibrating a good volume hard as if the masked is too low, it isn't effective.

He seemed to think there was an issue on my end. But if you and others have a similar issue, it may be a volume thing with the hybrid after all.

I don't think I made myself understood.

The volume of the ultrasonic track and the masked track that are used to make the hybrid tracks is unchanged by me. They are the exact same volumes as the separate ones.

When I put them together, there is an additive effect that either must be compensated for or you have an effective +1 or +2 dB of volume increase because of this effect.

You only have to compensate for that +1-2 dB. Otherwise, just use it where the masked track is comfortable and the ultrasonic doesn't bother you.
