But YT definetly fucks something up when stable volume is enabled. My non audiophile ass can notice it instantly even with podcasts. It sounds significantly worse.
Comment on does the quality of downloaded youtube video increase after being downloaded?
Steve@communick.news 4 days agoVolume and Dynamic Range are different things. One doesn’t effect the other.
Stable Volume just uses a form of ReplayGain to adjust volume for each track so they don’t swing so much.
It’s not doing any dynamic range compression, like some Nighttime Listening mode.

Tell that to the GuitarTubers whose audio get squashed to oblivion.
I can literally hear pumping clear as day in response to loud moments. It absolutely is doing dynamic range compression.
Its so obvious that I realized I was logged out of my Youtube account after a browser update and had to disable it again.
