WavePad (8.20) AGC

What on earth has happened to the Automatic Gain Control in WavePad?

I'm still having to use 5.48 due to the problem that all subsequent versions of wavepad have ruined what used to be a good filter.

Here's the same piece of music with AGC applied: 5.48 is at the top, 8.20 is in the middle (& the original file at the bottom for reference).

It's as though the filter has not even done anything to the music.

Please could the developer(s) fix it so that it does what it used to do?!

Or at least have an option so that AGC's settings can be at least tweaked somehow.

AGC in 9.01 is not consistent at all.

Has no-one at NCH got an answer for this?

On image link below, not only is the AGC lesser with 9.01, the right channel is 4₅ dB lower. It's really pathetic.

Hi,

We're now checking this.

In the mean time, you can use "Amplify" and select the % gain you desire. Additionally, you can use "Normalize" and select "Peak Loudness" to have equal loudness throughout the track.

Curious if are you a NCH developer as you're not showing under Staff...?

Regardless, I'm sticking with 5.48 for the time being as all my music has been processed with that particular AGC.

Using combinations of other filters wont give the same result as 5.48s AGC.
