While I was listening to music on tidal I noticed this one track sounded louder than usually. The track was "every rose has its thorn" by poison. I directly downloaded the songs from Qobuz and Tidal to compare. I will be using the DR Tool with Foobar2000. Yes I do own this specific song.

Not all is bad. Luckily Kenny G's "Breathless" doesn't suffer. I'll use "Forever In Love" as an example.
