Ed I set gain with mp3Gain to 94 db and I disable Auto Gain on VDJ works like a charm.
 
When I rip cd's i do not mess with the gains. I leave it as pure to the original as possible. I usually rip to a lossless format (flac). You can always use your gain and upfaders on your mixer to keep your tracks matched when mixing.
 
Dave,
I gain after a copy to WAV and then a copy to 320 CBR have not had a problem with levels and quality of sound. PFL's are a match before mixing on the external mixer.
 
An Australian promo cd service i subscribe to has all files set to around 92dB gain. I think they do this because many jukebox owners subscribe to the same cd series & they want similar volume levels from song to song.When i convert the files to mp3 i raise the gain so the track volume is maximised but just under clipping point. Most tracks i adjust to 97dB, which is quite a significant gain increase. I dont want to run the tracks at the original low gain levels of the cd as they dont sound as good especially the lower audio signals of a recording.
 
No need to be constantly adjusting here. Traktor keeps the gain on all decks constant! Isn't that what good DJ Software should do? :triwink::triwink:
 
VDJ does it without a problem, I just like all my files at the same level.
