![]() ![]() * Then next time I want to convert some other songs, I want the new converted songs to have the same volume like the earlier ones I converted ![]() * After the files have been converted to mp3, I want their volume to sound equal. * Pick a few songs from my lossless library and convert them to mp3. If you tend to listen to whole albums, or want to keep tracks on an album at the same volume relative to each other (as volumes often intentionally vary from track to track), you want to apply 'album' gain to all tracks on the same album at once, and the whole album will be normalized to the target volume while the individual album tracks will still retain their differences in volume relative to each other.īut I don't understand how the replaygain works? This is what I want: If you tend to put music on random/shuffle play, you may want to apply 'track' gain to your files, and all will be normalized to whatever you set as a target volume. There are two different ways to use MP3Gain, track or album, and you may want to use one or the other depending on how you listen to your music. ![]() Run those MP3s through MP3Gain, which will losslessly alter the volumes as needed Kristianaįollowing up on what shadowking said: I don't use Foobar2000, but do use MP3Gain to make all my mp3 more or less the same volume. Can someone help out? Please give easy to understand instructions, I am not THAT familiar with computer stuff. ![]() How would I do this? I have tried to find the answer.but I can't. Since all my files are already encoded to lossless formats, I hate to get all the CDs out again and start the process over again, I therefore need to find out a fairly simple way of setting the audio level to a certain number when converting lossless (not ripping CDs) to mp3, so that I can use that same audio level everytime I need to convert a particular track from lossless to mp3. However, I have since encoding all these songs realized there is quite a difference in sound levels, especially when comparing older CDs to newer ones. So in the end, I just wanted to warn people before they "normalize" anything: if you're an audiophile, you probably don't use mp3 anyway -), if you're an average user, you probably won't notice any damage to songs that were converted correctly on the first place but reconverting an mp3 that has some click or other defect might increase them in a very noticeable way.After having encoded my full CD library to lossless formats (I started out encoding to APE, but later switched to FLAC), I now would like to convert my favorite tracks to MP3 to play on my portable MP3 player. In fact, I'm yet to find a converter that takes that into account and anticipates lowering the level BEFORE conversion of. Reducing the level should not be an issue, for that matter, but normalizing to 0dB is quite risky - I've seen intersample peaks of +3dB on very loud songs! There's a lot to say about audio conversion, but one important (but neglected) thing is that any conversion can create so called "intersample peaks" thus creating distortion. So the statement that it "improves the quality" of an mp3 is simply false - you could consider it "improves" the mp3 file itself by suiting your need for normalization or else, but not "the quality". Hence the reason why I'm not making a proper review, if anyone prefers normalizing their files at the cost of a (probably) imperceptible degradation for them, let it be. I've tested this app just enough to be sure it was actually "converting" the file and yes it does. It would not be so if there was a setting in the file's metadata like "play level" that you could change instantly, but AFAIK this doesn't exist. As an audio professional, I can't recommend an app that alters files in compressed format (mp3, aac, etc.) as any conversion to a lossy format implies modifications and artifacts and is not advisable. ![]()
