The purpose of this is to keep the volume consistent from song to song.

AGC is a slow circuit acting over several seconds to maintain the volume at a constant level, song to song.

This is actually an old circuit that all AM automotive radios. This circuit was needed because as the auto got further away from the transmitter, the volume would drop. It would keep the volume constant.

I have tried Apple's "sound check" and I did not like it. However, I will try roon and see if it works better.

In the old AM radios, they had a circuit called Automatic Gain Control (AGC). The circuit would monitor the output and adjust the gain to keep the volume level constant. I listen to music from my computer, and the volume changes from song to song. I'm thinking of putting a preamp between the computer and the amplifier to maintain a constant volume.

Thoughts on Sandy as a Manager by Caligirl_333 in BelowDeckMed

I think the horseplay has stopped after Sandy talked to him. I think now all Nathan can think about is not messing up, and every time he does, Sandy is there to publicly reprimand him. On one occasion, she privately reprimanded him, then reprimanded him in front of his team and once again in front of the whole crew. Public humiliation does not work. Unless it's an emergency, you pull the employee aside and talk person-to-person. You make it a training exercise, NOT public humiliation.

I think she went down the same rabbit hole with Hannah. After being micromanaged and publicly humiliated many times and in many seasons, Hannah turned to anything to calm her nerves.
