Audio Normalizer in 2019
We all enjoy music, and we have all modified our behavior by adapting to the new devices.
Today nobody sits to look at the cover of an LP while it turns on the turntable.
Those times are behind.
Today, however, it is quite easy to get an audio file (mp3, flac, ogg, m4a, etc.) of some song that we listen to and like.
But that “get” implies downloading a file from an unknown source. There is no risk in it, at least not a risk of getting infected. But if we run the risk of downloading music files that have been encoded by someone who has no idea what they are doing.
I wonder, why do we have some that have 128 bitrate and another 92 and another 320k? And the same goes for all the settings with which it was encoded. It is as if they were chosen randomly, without really knowing what each thing is.
And then comes the consequence that they all sound “different”, with different volume levels, which we perceive with different volumes and sounds. Our collection, which sometimes becomes very large, is really uneven.
Then appears the desperation to find a software like Mp4Gain that allows us to be a volume leveler, volume enhancer, volume booster. In short, so that everyone can understand: an audio normalizer. And this audio normalizer should be able to normalize the most popular audio and video formats, the mp3 is no longer enough, as was the mp3gain.
Unfortunately some of our audio files will be co-opted by encoders that are not really standard and maybe the file cannot be repaired, but that is the minority, the other 99% will be able to normalize perfectly.
