Only if they're clipped after raising the level, which is often unavoidable but also often not noticeable for the brief transients that end up getting clipped.

In the end, digital volume leveling can't be lossless. So you don't have to use it. But for mixed playlists, it's very nice.
- baddox 13y agoThe argument of whether it would be noticeable is a valid one, but it also weakens the strict dynamic range argument. All you can do is use a limiter, which is a special case of a compressor, which is so named precisely because it limits the dynamic range of a signal.
- creeble 13y agoI guess I missed the "strict dynamic range" argument. You can't adjust amplitude at all without affecting dynamic range, of course.
