Setting volume of Mp3 using Volume Normalize

[Swamy321]

While encoding a mp3 file, I am trying to set the volume with the command below

CoreConverter.exe -infile="C:\Temp\Input_001.mp3" -outfile="C:\Temp\Out1.mp3" -dspeffect3="Volume Normalize="-mode={qt}10{qt} -maxamp={qt}100{qt} -desiredb={qt}-.1{qt}" -convert_to="mp3 (Lame)" -V 6


How do I use Volume Normalize so that the file will play with a default volume?

You would need -dspeffect1= not 3

I tried with dspeffect1 and still could not set the volume. Essentially I want to be able to control how loud the audio clip plays. I tried the following


CoreConverter.exe -infile="C:\Temp\9780147519658_001.mp3" -outfile="C:\Temp\Out1.mp3" -dspeffect1="Volume Normalize="-mode={qt}10{qt} -maxamp={qt}100{qt} -desiredb={qt}-.1{qt}" -convert_to="mp3 (Lame)" -V 6

Can you correct this query? Thanks

If you convert with the gui, it works as you require? (right click >> convert to)

I dont see a GUI. And I dont see the convert option when I right click on the file. How do I open the GUI?

Run the program Music Converter from the start menu.

I was able to open the GUI and in Volume Normalize--->Desired Volume, of I set the db to a specific value, then I am able to control the loudness--which is what I need.

If you can tell me how to do it from command prompt, that would be great. Thanks for your help.

Once working in the gui, then extract the values:
