Some SACD like the Thriller one doesn't adhere to scarlet book standards and the peaks of the songs are clipping. Because of this problem it would be good to have negative db options.

    Why don't use ReplayGain?

      Doesn't work, it still clips the peaks. Also it's not about how loud the track is, it's about getting a "perfect" copy of the audio.
      Look at the image, the top track is how foobar + this component with PCM volume set to 0db looks, you can see that the track is clipping in the red zones, the bottom track is how it's supposed to look without clipping.
      So that's why ReplayGain doesn't work here.

    Seems that it doesn't. See what happens at -20dB chart. What looks on 0dB chart as overload has approximately -20dB on -20dB chart. Maybe, there were some SDM overloads while mastering... But now it's not possible to do anything about it.

    I think this issue is resolved ? With last sacd plugin, I get no clipping/overload in console playing Billie Jean applying negative gain....
    Best,

    Yep, it doesn't clip anymore.
    Thanks for the negative db feature Maxim V.Anisiutkin.
