Audacity Forum

The mp3 music folders in our music library have been recorded at various amplitudes (volumes).
Can this software function as a volume control/equalization to elimenate the variances
in the recorded volumes.

Something like a limiter on the tape recorders.

Thanks,

Since this is a Mac, you can use SoundCheck® to push all your music toward the same volume. Attached.

This is a DELL computer.

Is there a way to have the sound check do all of the songs in a folder at once?

Thanks,

Gerry

But you still showed a picture of iTunes. Use Sound Check. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2425 .

Thanks for your reply.

I did use sound check, but, the volume differential from song to song does not change from the original recordings in our music file.

Perhaps, I'm not doing something right?

Thanks in advance,

Did you consider using Sound Check in Playback Preferences as per Koz's image, or reading the link I posted http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2425?

Please let me work this over the weekend.

Thanks again,

I often use Foobar2000 to update the replay-gain (similar to sound check) level.
The nice thing is that it can alter the tracks permanently and not only by a virtual ID3-tag which will be ignored in some players.

You can Do this with Audacity, I Think this forum is of Audacity So we should Explain tutorial for that...
Import your Mp3 files ( Which you want to decrease or increase the amplitudes )

Step1:)
Use Zoom tool to Zoom the segment where variances are there

Step2:)
Use The Selection Tool to select the segment of variances

Step 3:)
Click on Effect then select Amplifiy to Decrease or increase the Amplitude of Selected Segment.

Last Step4:)
Export the Mp3 files ( You will need Lame mp3 decoder If you dont have one)

Note: You can Create "Chain "If You don't want to repeat the tasks again and again manually it will repeat to apply the effect in all mp3 files.

Thanks satguru59.

Perhaps this tutorial might best be resolved using specific instructions by email:

I did drag & drop a song onto the audacity icon but need the next few steps.

I don't have the Lame mp3 decoder.

Thanks in advance,
