![]() I'll give Reaper a go though, because it'd be good for me learn a bit more about it. I do compression et al on my multi-tracker :) I've gotten things sounding great with Mp3 Gain normalisation (no worse than a regular compressed wav file anyway), but I just want the normalisation done BEFORE the mp3-compression stage because I'm going to be submitting the masters to a duplicator (as wav files). I know basic volume adjustment is all I need. Therefore, it isn't really processing the audio at all, but rather the metadata which modulates the gain. My understanding is that all mp3 files contain a master gain setting in their metadata (along with media info, technical statistics, etc), and that Mp3 Gain merely adjusts that. Mp3 Gain lets you do this with an 'Album Gain' option. Well, the idea is to retain the dynamics between different tracks, and just balance them as an 'album' relative to other 'albums'. Thanks heaps in advance for any help you guys can provide! I do have Reaper, but I want to avoid mastering in DAWs because I like the objective standard of the decibel measurement in mp3 Gain, and am hoping to use something similar. I know some amateur audio engineers who could help, but I want to do it myself. I had a friend in Australia who used to casually master tracks for me (using Pro Tools), but he's in a bad state at the moment so he can't help. My multi-track recorder has a hard time mastering songs to an acceptably loud volume, and converting to mp3 causes too much loss in sound quality (so I can't use mp3 Gain). I'm just looking for something simple, where you can load up your wav files, then set the desired 'average' volume level in decibels (or something similar). However, I'm looking for a program that does the same thing for wav files, as mp3 Gain (unsurprisingly) only works with mp3 files. Very handy tool, and I've been using it for years. It doesn't remove the dynamics within each track (or each album even), but basically just allows you to control the general playback level of each file. Best of all, the changes in the volume does not alter the quality of your mp3, that means you can listen to all your high-quality music at the volume suitable for your ear.Some of you may have heard of a program called 'mp3 Gain', which allows you to balance the volume levels of your mp3 files so that they're all roughly the same. ![]() ![]() Instead, it scans your music files and perform a statistical analysis to determine how loud the file actually sounds to the human ear. What makes it different from the other normalization software is that it does not just do peak normalization (the process of making all tracks equally loud). MP3Gain is a small software that automatically adjusts your mp3s so that they all have the same volume. How about normalizing all the songs to about the same volume so that you won’t have to play with the volume button every time? I bet you have experienced the same scenario before. Then in the next instance, the song is too soft and I have to turn the volume back up. At one instance, the song is too loud for my ear and I have to turn the volume down. When listening to the songs, the thing that disturbs me most is the adjustment of the volume. For those who have a great collection of mp3 songs, did you come across instances where some songs are louder, and others are softer? I have several thousands of songs in my Music collection.
