resultsads Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Like many of us, I'm having issues with audio levels of my songs. One will blast the speakers and the next is too quiet. I know there's an audio program out there that runs ~$30 that processes the audio output to the FM transmitter so the songs are all equal, just can't remember the name. Any help or suggestions?

Mega Arch Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I'm not familier with the program you're talikg about. Sorry.However, Audacity is free. You can adjust levels with it, but you would have to adjust them one at a time and resave the new file into SE for each sequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Look up MP3Gain. It will level the audio for entire directories of audio, all at once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resultsads Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Thanks for the reply Arch. I have Audacity already, but this program is an equalizer/leveler program that processes all music going out of the computer. Just can't remember the name darn it!

resultsads Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 MP3Gain wasn't the name of the program I was thinking, but will check it out. Might be a good solution in case I can't find the name of the other. Thanks Don! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Polenchar Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Would this be the software you are looking for? http://store.claessonedwards.com/product_p/bap-002.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mega Arch Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Don, Joe,I use SD cards and a miniDirector to run my show. So what is saved is what you get.Do either of you have experience with the software you mentioned to know if it would help this setup?Is it automatically sound leveling for all media files on the pc,or is it just when you are actually in play mode for a file that it kicks in to handle the levels?Or would I still have to treat them individually and save work in SE?Thanks for your input.Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basis21b Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Sorry for butting in. MP3Gain can be used to work on all of the files in a directory. If you run the program against the Audio folder in your LOR directory structure, all of the files will be adjusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This works live so to speak on all audio on your PC.This program would not work for you on your SD cards. MP3Gain on the other hand works on the files (audio) themselves.As basis21b noted you can do Batch audio file leveling.Once you run it on the audio folder in Light O Rama the files will be leveled. Then when you copy them over to your SD cards they will be fixed.Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Arch Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Thanks for the info. I'll try it after I cook this huge whole ham my wife bought. I think I need to get the chain saw out and cut it in half first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My show contains a mixture of MP3 and video. Although MP3Gain worked on the audio files, the video files were still quite loud. I used MP3Gain in the past and it works quite well; I just needed something different this year with the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Arch Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Great info from everyone. I ran the mp3Gain yesterday. Only 2 songs were more than a few dbs off from the other 14. Since I'm 100% show-time tonight, I didn't redo my sd card. Will just live with it this year. I'm probably the only one that knows anyway....Will definitely use these programs when building 2015 show. That process starts next week! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
