That cannot be true.. watch how much 1st band drops when bass at Beyonce's song kicks at ~30Hz.
Well, due to the nature of filtering, it's difficult to precisely determine the amplification at each frequency. So it could be that the bass is counted louder than it should.The beats in this song are at 43 Hz. At 40 Hz, for ITU-1770 I should lower the level by 5.6 dB; at 50 Hz that's 4.0 dB. So at 43 Hz it's probably around 5.2 dB.
Edit: I just realized that I built in something to avoid artifacts in the RMS measurements - which might lead to a less than required volume drop at very low frequencies... Will check if fixing that improves things (don't expect too much from it though, and fixing it might introduce artifacts)

it should drop, but not that much! but again, multiband is droping that bass alot. That's true too.
Maybe, but the rest of the sound doesn't drop - and it does already sound a lot better than when I was using RMS levels. And, for many other tracks, the bass is actually protecting the rest of the sound against volume drops when a loud voice kicks in.Quote:
hmm maybe first two bands in multiband need same thing 
Noooo! That would kill all the other processing steps! And, except for that, if you want more audio to come out of those first bands, just increase their 'soft limit' settings - that's basically identical to reducing how strong a frequency counts! Quote:
