That seemed to work well enough and let me burn some MP3 CDs for my "cutting edge (!)" Philips MP3 capable portable CD player.
#Reduce mp3 gain trial
I did a trial run and found a setting which didn't clip much (if at all) and used that as the target "volume". It has to be more than 10 years since I used it (I'll explain why) so I don't have it to hand.Īs I remember it, I had a folder of some hundreds of MP3 files taken from "various artists" CDs, some of which dated back to the early days of CDs. I can't quite recall the settings I used but I liked the concept. Mark you sound like you have a similar background and I, for one, would enjoy reading any comments or suggestions that you might like to contribute as new topics. (especially with the limited fidelity on the typical 400 watt PA system) The Raspiness you hear on MP3 recordings. Using Valves in the audio chain removes some of the
#Reduce mp3 gain pro
For these shows I use a Pro VLA2 that has a warmer sound that you realise from Valves. I carry the appropriate music on a a separate hard drive and use Play It live to add the announcements that are pre recorded. a kind of a pay to be mentioned service by the sole sound provider at various shows.
#Reduce mp3 gain software
I'm currently using Play It Software for background entertainment, And also as a Barker utility for Trade Shows. because of the, yet to be offered, features. What we are discussing here is more of a utility from the Pro end point of view.
For me, I've 35 years around Audio and Broadcasting.
I enjoy reading and acknowledging your obvious experience. Perhaps these ideas will help you achieve consistent audio levels and great Segues with PlayIt Live. I suggest, if any processing with EQ or compression should happen post digital when being being played as audio, so all tracks are consistently processed at the same settings. I maintain that Original recording have the best fidelity but differ in amplitude. Whereas all the titles in a folder are processed to cut silence, Normalize to -1dB and Saved to a separate file that is added to PlayIt Live.īy doing so they feel they have a more consistent sound requiring less Post processing. Over the years I have known people who use Programs, such as Audacity, to create Chains. But if it is, use the idea above to reduce the overall amplitude of the “Hot” track. It's not likely that a louder track is actually peaking over -0- db. To compare, import another audio track that you find acceptable and compare the loudness of the two tracks. Then Normalise the entire track to -1 dB. The trick to this is to bring these individual peaks down to the overall average. Let me point out that most audio editing software sees the odd peak as the maximum amplitude of the track. If I hear or see a track is quiet, it's opened in an audio editor, such as Audacity, where the levels are Normalized to peak at -1db. My experience tells me that you must begin with consistant levels before adding tracks to PlayIt live. Yes, you could use a Compressor/Limiter to control this, but post processing will not change how PlayIt Live responds when in the Playout process. Quieter tracks lead to early transitions and seemingly makes some tracks seem overly loud. One of the problems with when playing MP3 or Wave Files from different sources is varying audio amplitude. PlayIt Live default settings for Track Fading and Silence analysis will provide consistant Segues IF the MP3 or Wave file is saved at it's optimum level.
