Then I looked at the MP3Gain track analysis, and it said the average volume was 100.4 and that there was clipping, which makes sense if the average is over 100.ġ) First off, when we talk about "peak to 98", just what does 98 measure? I've always assumed it was 98% of some sort of maximum, which is why you can't go above 100.Ģ) How did a file that had been peaked to 98 wind up with a higher average? Is this function of the MP3 format only being able to express "volume" (what's the correct term here, amplitude?) in increments of 1.5db? Does this limitation mean that we get "rounding" errors because it can't express 98 whatever precisely, just the nearest value, and that value can be driven above 100?ģ) What's the highest peak value for a. wav file (loud rock) and normalized its peak to 98. Now that I've played with MP3Gain, I've got a couple questions. The effort's worthwhile - I have noticed a difference while shuffle listening, among the ones done - better volume balance during the listening period. I have some experimental electronica tracks that have peak-maxed avg volumes in the 50s. Since I'm using 89 as a target, I have a few left over that are dynamic tracks already peak-maximized but lower avg volume, but these I'll live with and adjust manually when listening as desired. then manually select all positive radio gain left with 0 < max-no-clip < radio gain
manually additionally select the positive radio gains with max-no-clip-gain greater or equal to the radio Anyway, here's what I'm doing, as I mp3gain my collection (taking a while, since there's about 15,000 to do, though I'm doing them by genre folder, so it's not all at once). This should ensure that the MP3s of each album are of comparable loudness and that the overall volume level is optimised. (7) to increase files gain by (if this is 0.0 then do ( Modify Gain\Apply Constant Gain - select value noted in (7) Order files by Max Noclip Gain column (first do RadioĪnalysis if Replay Gain information is not thereĪnymore) and note smallest value in the column (6) Modify Gain\Album Gain - normalizes the MP3 Gain of allĪlbums relative to each other and as close as possible (5) Analysis\Album Analysis - does MP3 Gain Analysis album (4) File\Add Folder - choose folder containing all the album if clipping does occur with 89 dB you will have to reduce That no clipping will happen even for older albums Using 89 dB for the target volume will probably ensure (3) Set Target "Normal" Volume to 89 dB (if not already) Options\Advanced\Enable Maximising Features (tick) Options\Advanced\Performance (tick both boxes) (1) Put MP3 files in sub-folders sorted by album
MY MP3 GAIN HOW TO
How To Perform Optimised Album-based MP3 Gain Adjustment For Multiple Albums of MP3s for putting onto MP3-CDs I made this list up for myself (yeah I'm a bit lame!) and I thought it may lessen questions to Snelg and help others in the process if I posted it: MP3-CD album-based MP3Gain adjustment for newbies If you are unsure of anything else you should probably refer to it first. If you would like your Mp3 files to be as close to your Target “Normal” Volume as possible while maintaining volume differences between each file on an album you simplyĭo a Album Analysis instead of a Radio Analysis & a Album gain instead of a Radio Gain.Īnd if any file still has clipping you should lower the Target “Normal” Volume value.ī.TW This is Basically answered in the Mp3Gain Help file. In the, Target “Normal” Volume Field choose the Volume all your selected files will have (default 89dB is recommended), To get all your files to have the same loudness,
(I am at work at present and cannot recollect what to do.its almost automatic now and I'll be damned if I can remember what I did) What do you do if you want all your MP3's to have the same volume irrespective of the source album? If you only want to modify files with clipping and don't care about keeping volume differences between each track on an album you "Apply max no clip gain for each file" instead of "Apply max no clip gain for album".Īnd that’s it, now your files have no clipping distortion. If Any Mp3 file in Mp3gain has a "Y" (yes) under the clipping bar then, Go to the "modify gain" menu, "Apply max no clip gain for album". Options\Advanced\Enable Maximizing Features (tick) To permanently remove clipping and keep volume differences between each track on an album you will need Mp3Gain: "Clipping" is when the music hits max volume and gets distorted. This has been answered by Snelg/User (see post above) but I think this will simplify it for beginners.
