so i just ripped a new album that i got from amazon into itunes at 128 kbps aac.. and with soundcheck on it takes -14.0 on the volume level! when imported to my ipod i have to have the volume at like 90% just to even hear the song. why is this? i had never had this sort of issue before. the most sound check used to take off would be maybe -5 or -6.. not -14...
