I have about 20 songs (all given to me by the bands who recorded them, if you are wondering). I would like to make them a uniform volume and 'pump them up' as much as possible. I have a couple of ideas about how to do this (and I'm pretty far along with one method) but I know there must be a better way. I would be interested in any suggestions and advice from you knowledgeable people in this forum.
Ideally, the cheaper the software the better, but I am also interested in what you think would do the best job given that I am something of a novice and will have the manual open in front of me. That is, if it's more expensive but much easier to use . . . Thank you. |

If you want to normalize several tracks for say CD mastering.... then Adaptec Jam 2.6 will do that for you. It comes with Toast usually or you may find on the web if you search right places. It lets you audition each track and adjust the volume of each track individually so that you have a consistent volume across all tracks. But its not really normalizing... just adjusting overall volume. Best to get tracks normalized in PT or another app like T-Racks and then when compiling a CD... you will just have to audition the audio levels of each track seperately and compare by ear. I think that maybe the new Spark app may do all tracks or it seems like i have heard of an app that does that but not sure exactly.
