Topic: MP3 Normalization / Atomix Gain Control !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hey guys !

I use soft mode only for recording, along with using my headphones to monitor. I don't want to rely on atomix's auto-gain feature since it is not that accurate.

IS there any way to accurately match the output levels using the headphones? (Too bad the headphone output went through the sound card AFTER the input fader - if u know what i mean).

Or should i just use a normalization program. Does anyone know any good ones ???!!!

Cheers !!!!!!
Dave.

Like DJ Maboul said in the French forum: dbPowerAmp is a good tool for that. http://www.dbpoweramp.com/

Greetz, ikke

PS. Sorry for those effects, I didn't recieve anything from Corpse. I hope he'll help me a.s.a.p. I'm going to make a sort of tutorial (using a new .h file) so Java programmers (like you) can create DSP effects quite easy.

i've tried db power amp, it sucked!!! I couldn't notice any normalization and i've compared 40 "normalized" tracks with the originals and it's just the same... And it's not that the originals were already perfectly normalized, because some tracks were really very low volume...

Any other ideas??

But i still want to check the output level using my headphones.

Cheers.

Try mp3 gain (www.geocities.com/mp3gain)

Regarding normalisation, some programs normalise an mp3 by finding the peak volume and using that level as a standard for other mp3s. Other programs such as mp3 gain and mp3 workshop normalise an mp3 by finding the average volume which is far more accurate. Perhaps dbpoweramp uses the former method (having never used it, I cannot say this with certainty).

Hey! dadegian I did tried that program (MP3 Gainer) and its perfect. The only problem is the program takes too long to analyze the files, but ones U pass that. U will it worth it.
