volume normalise

[martincooke]

Hi

Have really enjoyed listening in my home to music (mostly classical) ripped using this software (to FLAC) ... however it has too big a dynamic range for use in the car (lots of very quiet bits). Intend to create a 'car copy' (in MP3 for use with IPOD) and can see the DSP effects for normalising volume but cant find any detailed help on how the different effects work (e.g. love the Spoon guide to audio etc but cant find anything on normalising?) is there a detailed guide or a recommended approach anywhere?

Dynamic looks like the answer - am I starting in the best place?

Does 'dynamic' include 'peak to peak'? ie do I need to do a peak to peak copy first and then a dynamic copy (two pass) or is one pass with dynamic sufficient?

What settings would should generally be used with dynamic for creating a version of classical for the car?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Re: volume normalise

Dynamic would be the one to use in the car, it effectively does peak to peak on a rolling snap shot window.

Hi

Thank-you for responding but apologies for still being confused! :o

Think Dynamic increase the the volume of quiet bits within a track. Think that 'peak to peak' makes the peak volume the same across different tracks (in an album)

So to get both peak volume normalised across different tracks and dynamic range reduced within a track ... do I need to do one conversion with Peak to Peak and then subsequent conversion with Dynamic? Or, does Dynamic do both in one pass?

Thanks

Re: volume normalise

You only need dynamic
