By volume, I'm referring to lining up several tracks on your computer/phone/tablet/thingy, setting the one volume level and then letting them play. For example, the first track will be quiet, of all ironies my Led Zeppelin tracks are all like this, the next track will be loud, the next track "in the middle", in other words it's Goldilocks and the three bears with audio tracks. > > Is there a way I can either during the ripping process, or subsequently in a post-processing, make the "average" volume of all my tracks the same? > > Any thoughts greatly appreciated, >
What you're looking for is called "replay gain" (alternative spelling, "replaygain"). Basically, it's a two-step process : (1) analyze the 'effective loudness' of a track, and (2) add a tag indicating the difference between the measured 'effective loudness' with a reference level of 89 dB SPL http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=ReplayGain The above wiki article might be out of date with regards to the available software. Try asking around in the HydrogenAudio forums. They are a bunch of friendly guys ;-) (PS: my handle there is "pepoluan", although honestly I haven't dabbled in any forum discussions for several years.) Rgds,
