Hello
I noticed recently that the option Sound Check was turned on in my Apple Music settings... which is something I don't want at all.
The issue I have is that I have imported a lot of songs in my Music app.
Is there a way I could remove the Sound Check from all already-imported songs ?
Thanks a lot

Loicc,
If you don't want it, you can turn it off in Music Preferences > Playback.
Sound Check affects playback but does not modify the file itself. It does not matter if it was on or off at the time the file was added to the library.
FYI, at the time a file is added to the library, iTunes/Music analyzes the volume level and stores it as a dB value against the file. (You can see it on the Files tab of Get Info.) This value is used to adjust the volume whenever Sound Check is on; otherwise it is ignored. Unlike iVolume or certain other 3rd party tools, it does not modify the level of the file itself.
