Hi Ted.
That's exactly what Goldwave can do. You can add a large batch of files,
select the match volume effect and let it go and set the volume of those
files. It's called a conversion but it doesn't necessarily have to
change the format. If you choose not to change format, it will save them
back in exactly the same format as they were originally but with the
volume change.
Obviously, there's a slight quality issue because when you use an
editing tool like Goldwave or Soundforge for files that aren't lossless,
the file is first converted to a WAV file, effects are applied and then
it's re-encoded back to it's original WMA or OGG format. All of that is
done automatically once you've selected your batch of files and started
the processing.
Regards.

Thanks Kevin,
I think Sound Forge will do the same thing during batch conversion.
Unfortunately I have a load of files already converted, so it's too
late for them. I was hoping to find something like mp3 gain, which
would level the volume of a large batch of existing files.
Never mind, thanks for the suggestion.

Hi Ted.
Goldwave can do this. There's a feature called Match Volume that you can
use as an effect during a batch conversion. It uses a similar RMS
average volume matching algorithm as MP3GAIN but again, can make the odd
mistake now and then.

Does anyone know if there are other programmes like mp3 gain, that
work on other compressed formats, such as ogg, or wma?
Google didn't come up with much, but I might have used the wrong
search terms.

Hi Andy.
I would suggest MP3GAIN as your best option. It's free and easy to use
and can be used to set all files to the same average volume. This is
different to normalisation which sets all files so that their maximum
peak volume are all at the same volume. Normalisation can therefore
still leave files at different volumes as perceived by the ear.
Even the
best tools like MP3GAIN can make mistakes occasionally though so
I'd set
the volumes and then have a listen before you burn and change any
individual files to your ear.

*Subject:* [access-uk] Standardising the volume on mp3 files
Hi all -
I'm putting together a folder of mp3 files that will get burned to
disk. As some are louder than others, I'd like to
standardise/normalise the volume level for all files. Is there a
free tool that will do this for me?
Thanks -
Andy
