Low volume

[Watershed]

(first, sorry for my bad english)

hi, i have a Sony NW-A45 walkman and his volume is too low, I thinking in raise volume of my flac files instead of buying a headphone amp, what is the best way to do this in "volume normalization"? what is the max db can i put in fixed amplification without clipping?

Re: Low volume

Depends on the song, some songs are already at clipping so cannot be increased. Have to look at the effect 'Dynamic range compression' which might be better.
