Program to level volume levels?

  1. For my music collection? It's really annoying to have shuffle on and have a random song play too quiet or really loud compared to the majority. Anyone know of a program to level out all the volumes?:smoking:
     
  2. Itunes does it automatically. Just go to itunes < preferences< playback< check the box for "sound check" and you should be good.
     
  3. a simple google search coulda got you an answer, but ill be nice
    try mp3gain. super easy and works pretty good if i recall (i havent used it in a long time)
     
  4. What you're hearing is due to the differences in mastering most likely. I hate the loudness wars...That's why I don't squish the damn shit out of everything when I master tracks.

    Remember though if you're listening to MP3s there is also more compression...tons of compression as well compared to untouched wav files. I am quite positive it is due to the mastering done to each song though. Every mastering engineer does it differently and if it's not terribly loud it means they did a good job because there is still a dynamic range <3. Just turn up your speakers, that's the whole point of not squishing the dynamics out of everything and making it sound like shit. :D
