Windows Media Audio File Settings - Advanced
The Advanced tab in the Windows Media Audio File Settings dialog allows you to specify the
dynamic range control, that is, the difference in dB between the average loudness and the peak
audio level (the loudest sounds) of the audio for the encoded file.
1 Dynamic Range Control
The dynamic range is automatically calculated during the encoding process. If you activate
this option, you can specify the dynamic range manually.
If Dynamic Range Control is activated and the Quiet Mode of the Windows Media Player
is set to Medium Difference, the peak level is limited to the peak value that you specified.
If Dynamic Range Control is deactivated, the peak level is limited to 12 dB above the
average level during playback.
If Dynamic Range Control is activated and the Quiet Mode of the Windows Media Player
is set to Little Difference, the peak level is limited to the average value between the peak
and average values that you specified. If Dynamic Range Control is deactivated, the peak
level is limited to 6 dB above the average level during playback.
2 Peak
Allows you to set a peak value between 0 and -90 dB.
3 Average
Allows you to set a peak value between 0 and -90 dB. However, this affects the overall
volume level and can have a negative effect on the audio quality.
Windows Media Audio File Settings - Media
The Media tab in the Windows Media Audio File Settings dialog allows you to enter information

that is embedded in the file header. This can be displayed by some Windows Media Audio
playback applications.
