!I posted this in the official announcement thread but thought I'd leave this here as well:
I am quite happy with the album release from a technical perspective. The fact that the FLAC release is 24 bit depth with a 48 kHz sample rate is excellent.
It has an overall dynamic range spread of 8 dB from average loudness to peak, which is not phenomenal but pretty good for modern electronica and game music. My one request in the future would be to open up the mix and have even more dynamics!
Here are the full results of running the album through the dynamic range analyzer plugin for foobar2000:
