Thanks, Matt. Wow, there is/was a war! Very interesting, and signifigant differences in some of the power. That's great information.

I think I didn't pose my question well, so just in case this more clear, when I play other's songs (from this forum) often they are substantially louder than mine. At Soundcloud all mine are about the same level, so were you listening to them all, once you set your volume level for the 1st one, you probably wouldn't need to adjust it for the 2nd, 3rd, etc.

When I play, examples, David Snyder's Long Distance Runner, and follow with Janice & Bud Merritt's Out of Your World, both are (guessing) 25%+ louder and I need to turn my volume down.

So, I wondered if there was a rule of thumb to get to their volumes, of if it's just arbitrary, and only based on maximizing the quality of my songs. I haven't compared Dave's -.1, but did listen to it.

Regardless, thank you both for responding. Great info!
