I have a question regarding moving Wine's C:/ drive to another file system. My hard drive is currently partitioned into 3 primaries. I have a NTFS partition that Windows is on, a Ext4 with Ubuntu, and a third, larger, FAT32 partition that I use to hold cross-OS data (music, pictures, documents ect). I have had infinite difficulty getting wine to run apps that I installed (through wine) to my

Live, uncompressed music often has peaks that are 4 dB higher, or more, than a typical commercial CD. Such peaks are brief, and would not really affect the

Nicholas is probably right about noise. Another factor would simply be the amplitude of the resulting file. A 275 MB 24-bit file which compresses to 110 MB is probably not very loud. I assume that the average level is somewhat low, with few if any peaks that reach 0 dBFS. FLAC is very good at compressing audio that is not loud. In fact, the quieter the recording, the smaller the

Thanks for the replies! My first thought was that the file had low levels (before he sent me the file), but that's definitely not the case with this file. There are many peaks that reach 0dBFS. He sent me the original wav this morning and I loaded it into Wave Editor on OS X. I dithered to 16 bit using MBIT+ (high/ultra setting) and saved the 16 bit file. I did nothing else (no
