I got this problem where some of my tracks are different volumes and it can really sound messy if the difference is to great. Does anyone know of a program that allows you to process your MP3's and set the volumes ect.
thanks |

With MusicMatch, when you rip from CDs you can change the volume or standardise it or something like that. I've never used it, but it might work. Maybe it has an option to change the volume of music files already on your computer. You never know.
Oh, and don't forget that many options are disabled when you download the free versions of programmes. You could get the premium version or whatever and see if it's avaliable then.
Good luck |

Dude isn't that what EQ'ing is all about? There is no real "Standard" volume for tracks, so just get to know your tracks, and you'll be able to avoid volume problems...
Also... and I'm not meaning to imply that you are doing this, but if you ARE grabbing MP3's a little less than legally, well, you pay for what you get... |

Try mp3gain - it can normalize for "perceived gain" (the volume we sense), not just for the actual max volume. New CDs are louder by up to 10 db than old CDs made 5+ years ago. mp3gain just sets a gain parameter in the mp3 header and doesn't mess with the actual sound data so it won't cause any quality reduction.
Even on one CD some tracks can be quite different volumes depending on what the original CD maker was trying to do. |

| make sure before you mix in the next track you check the "loudest" point of the record (usually right after the breakdown, somewhere in the middle of the record) and match the gains of that track so that your levels are matching. |

+1 use the LED's on your mixer to make sure they're the same. |

| just use your gain knob man. if you have individual LEDs for each channel, then it's quite simple. otherwise, you may have a PFL LED. or maybe, you have nothing, where you'll just have to do it by ear, comparing the live track's volume with the cued one. |
