MP3 playback volume levels ?

**Darkness** · 12-09-08, 04:59 PM

Is there anyway to normalize the volume level with multi MP3's ?

I hate burning an MP3 DVD for the car and when listening one MP3 is loud, the next is quiet, so you up the volume, then next is very low, so up the volume more, the next is loud so it nearly blows ya face off when it starts etc...

So any easy way to make them all close to the same level ?

Thanks for any info !

An older app adobe audition 1.5
http://rapidshare.com/files/59762288/install.exe
is still the easiest to use for this.
Install go EDIT VIEW....FILE.... OPEN ....select your mp3s........OPEN....wait for them to appear in the left window....highlight them and right click.... group waveform normalize.
This should group normalize all the mp3s ready for burning

Maybe better is the free ware mp3gain.

MP3Gain

I use it to normalise album levels to the same level, but keep the individual tracks at the same relative level to the other tracks within the album. But you can normalise all tracks if you want. It does not re-encode the mp3, so no extra loss.

"MP3Gain analyzes and adjusts mp3 files so that they have the same volume.

MP3Gain does not just do peak normalization, as many normalizers do. Instead, it does some statistical analysis to determine how loud the file actually sounds to the human ear.
Also, the changes MP3Gain makes are completely lossless. There is no quality lost in the change because the program adjusts the mp3 file directly, without decoding and re-encoding."
