So in that sense, if you’ve been searching for a free utility that lets you adjust audio levels (both single and batch file processing) with ease, then QMP3Gain is a tool that you should try. So it’s pretty darn important that we have the ability to rollback the changes whenever we want. So it’s pretty safe.Īnd the reason I wrote about that is, depending on the file and its content, let’s say that after gaining volume to somewhat higher decibel levels (dB), it can sometimes create audio distortions. This is done by simply adding a volume level field in the file’s “header” (this is a special location in a file that holds key information such as the codec that should be used to decode the content, file size, duration etc).

Meaning that, you can always undo the changes and get the original volume levels back. This is useful because, there are some encoded music files (sometimes happen when downgrading from a high quality multichannel track to 2 channels stereo or when changing between audio codecs) that have either low or too high volumes by default.īut the good thing about volume normalization is that, most tools (including the one that I’m writing here) do it in a way that it’s 100% lossless. Every file has been normalized!Īnd now that I have MSP and a pedal.Audio volume gaining or normalization is the process of adjusting the audio level of an audio file (increasing/decreasing) and saving the changes permanently (so you don’t have to manually up/down the volume every time you play a track). I perform with tracks at my church every week and also for jazz gigs on my saxophones. My programs are Band-In-A-Box (mainly for drums) and I record and edit in Cakewalk Sonar 8.5 (old version that works great!). I should note that I make all my own tracks using MIDI and real Audio instruments. That means a few 'highs' were knocked off, but if it didn't adust a lot, you will be ok. Don't freak out if you see a few tracks get marked under the "clip(Track)" column. I always watch to see just how much it adjusts the Gain. If you have a lot of tracks, don't select any, just hit Track Gain and it'll do them all (or Select All, either way works).Ħ. It's not really necessary once you get used to it.ĥ. You will want to click the Track Analysis the first few times just to see what happens. The only drawback is that your volume isn't "quite" as loud, so you'll have to turn it up on your computer a little.Ĥ. Once in the program, first thing to do is set your "Target 'Normal' Volume." Since this is lossless, don't worry about messing it up.īUT! I have found that the default 89dB is great for most tracks. MP3Gain will open and wait for your input!ģ. Now, any time you put new tracks in the folder, drag and drop as many as you want right on the shortcut.

Do this for all the places you store music you want to normalize.Ģ. After installing, I create shortcuts to the main file (MP3GainGUI.exe) in the folder that holds my tracks. In case anyone is curious, here's my personal work-flow:ġ. There is no quality lost in the change because the program adjusts the mp3 file directly, without decoding and re-encoding."

Instead, it does some statistical analysis to determine how loud the file actually sounds to the human ear.Īlso, the changes MP3Gain makes are completely lossless. MP3Gain does not just do peak normalization, as many normalizers do. MP3Gain analyzes and adjusts mp3 files so that they have the same volume.

"Tired of reaching for your volume knob every time your mp3 player changes to a new song? The program is called MP3Gain, and it's open source, available here: Unfortunately, the program hasn't been updated since 2018, but it still works great. I know I'm late, but maybe this will help someone.įor volume normalization, there is a VERY easy solution that I've used for performance tracks for many years. I'm new and browsing for info and saw this.
