I think it's more a gain problem than anything, you should try that:

thanks, that program could actually cure most of my problems if it really does what it says it does. gotta try it out.


edit: it didn't really do anything, to fix my problem (i tired it on remy - dustsucker). :confused:

And with your other tracks?

I set my tracks to 95db and most of the times , it works very well.

well i tried it on the default setting (89dB) i think. didn't do anything about the peaks at all. i tried it on 95dB too and then it was already a bit distorted. all it seems to do is just amplify the signal and doesn't really cut the extra inaudible peaks out (unless it's amplified enough). i can easily amplify the tracks on audacity too, so this program didn't really do anything i couldn't already do.

Guys, if a song goes over 0db its not the end of the world. I had an indepth talk about this with an engineer at Sony years ago, he said he's mastered entire tracks above 0db before. Whats important is how badly it distorts.

buy wavs instead of mp3s. all mp3s look like when you put them in a wave editor because of how compressed they are.

too bad wavs are more expensive though. i think 2,49€ for a wav file is a ing ripoff price.

if you think so, then maybe you should stop complaining...or learn to deal with it.

i really don't think it's a fair price for just one track when you can get singles with many tracks for just a little bit more and albums that contain let's say 10 tracks rarely cost 24,90€. so actually we're paying much more for our music now that everything has to be bought from mp3 shops (pretty much at least).

singles were always a bit pricey...

just compress the tracks... if its too "quite" than compress it... and the peaks going down is a result of nothing, its just the way the sounds are... (try to play a synth with an hp filter with a round saw waveform and itll look like this...) the problem in the benz&md track u showed is also a result of somthing close to a bad synth, it called a "dc offset", you can try remove all frequencies below 15 hz and normalize it again... should fix it... if not, try compressing...
