possible to boost the volume of low output tracks to equal loud tracks

(1/1)

777funk:
Some tracks weren't mixed correctly and have low outputs. Is there a way to boost these so that when I'm on shuffle and a weak mixed track comes on it'll be fixed to be at it's optimum level?

I'm not wanting to take away a songs dynamics but I'd like the loudest part of every song to be right before clipping (optimized).

Is this possible.
thanks!
Nick

saratoga:
Yes, this is the purpose of replaygain, a standard for playing tracks at equal loudness that rockbox supports.  If you scan your files to add replaygain info using a player like foobar2000 on your PC, then enable "track gain" in rockbox all files will have equal perceived loudness.

777funk:
Thanks! I had seen ReplayGain and tried it and it didn't seem to help. I guess the reason is that there was no track info there.

So I will need to:
-Delete all the files from the player.
-Scan all files on the computer
-Reload

saratoga:
I would scan them directly while on the player, but yes that is the idea. 

777funk:
Ahhh, ok great. I didn't know I could scan on player.

So far this has been great software. Really like it.


Post Merge: August 21, 2012, 03:28:55 PMJust did this. Looking forward to seeing the results.

So Preamp... do I need to change anything there?


EDIT: Just tried it and it's great! Love this feature. thanks!

And Preamp... now that I scanned all the files on the player for ReplayGain, that feature works. Pretty self explanatory.
