Volume limiter

<< < (2/7) > >>

STU103:
Yes I have read the manual.  And cutting the Db is not a volume limiter function.   I did mention I don't want to mess with EQ settings or anything like that.   The question was why is there no Volume limit function?

From what you have described, it is.  If you actually want something different, can you explain what it is?

You don't have to use EQ to enable precut.

Well, until you explain exactly what a volume limit function is, its hard to answer that question.

No it is not the same.   Please show me a menu on rockbox that says set volume limit?  There isn't one.   It should be a simple feature.  easily accessible.  Not something complex such as cutting dB.  There is no simple option.  Such as with an Ipod.  You can simply access the setting menu and set a volume limit via the volume control.   Simple uncomplicated,  and appreciated.  

I would have thought that the open input would help make rockbox better.....  unless Rockbox the rockbox Developers only want a select few to use it?    

soap edit:  Fix totally borked quotes, no change in content, I swear!

Ok fair enough.  Can you explain how its different so that I can answer your question :)

Edit:  Basically, telll me what you think a volume limiter should do and then maybe I can tell you why its not there.

Why do you need a menu item labelled the way you want it if there's a perfectly working way to achieve the same thing by using an option labelled differently? Should we also rename "backdrop" to "background" because other systems use the other term? Rename "plugins" to "apps" because the latter term became popular lately? Or ...
