As I've posted recently, I repaired my 2000 Corvette A/C after compressor failure. Everywhere I look online says sys takes 24 oz. That includes this site, 4-seasons site, an online factory service manual, and from local Chev dealership using vin number lookup. But for some reason the sticker under the hood says 1.75 lbs. I've always heard the sticker, on the pass fender in my case, is the holy grail, but fenders can be replaced and I bought car used.
Questions;
1. How is the proper charge determined originally?
2. Is it a percentage of total system volume?
2. Does the proper charge change when replacing condenser with an aftermarket version with possibly a different volume?
TIA

Comparing audio changes at matched levels
For a small podcast episode, I need music to sit underneath an introductory voice. The difficult part is judging the music while the narrator starts speaking. I want to avoid confusing a mixing problem with an export problem. I plan to compare versions with the same voice track and music level. Keeping the untouched cue available would let me reconsider any processing decision. The narrator has a soft delivery, and the cue includes a sustained background layer. I would listen to the opening both on headphones and on a small speaker, noting whether individual words remain easy to follow at a comfortable volume. I came across suno fix while looking for possible approaches to this question. I have not made a processed comparison and do not know whether it would help. Reducing a distraction would matter less if the musical entrance lost its shape. Which listening checks would you use to assess the overlap fairly?
