Jiggie 264 Posted June 30, 2010 I don't know about anybody else, but something that really grinds my gears is when I have a song on my IPod that is louder on one side than the other. It pisses me off and ruins the song completely. Does this happen often to you guys, or am I just weird? It isn't my ears or my headsets - since this isn't the case for every single song. Any way to fix this by fiddling with my IPod or something? I try to just re-download my songs, but it gets annoying when I have to do this for every new song that pushes my buttons. Oh, and where do you guys download your music? Share this post Link to post
Speedskater 167 Posted June 30, 2010 yeah I know what you mean. sometimes specially downloaded music is extremely loud and destroys me ears Share this post Link to post
JoshJayK 16,648 Posted June 30, 2010 I hate when one song is extremely soft, so you turn up the volume, then the next are normal volume and so you die. Share this post Link to post
Monki 478 Posted June 30, 2010 I know what you mean, Jiggie. And if I want to find a popular song quickly, I typically go to aimini.net Share this post Link to post

Major Zhuinden 128 Posted July 8, 2010 If you have such issues and hopefully not too many music, you can always use Adobe Audition to use Amplify to change the volume of each song, though you can do that only one by one. Share this post Link to post
aNiMe_FrEaK_ 40 Posted July 9, 2010 I hate when one song is extremely soft, so you turn up the volume, then the next are normal volume and so you die. I found a solution to your problem so i couldn't help but return to this thread to share it with you! There is a "Technique" called ReplayGain which specifies the dB level of your audio files and uses an algorithm to adjust the perceived data. Replay Gain is the name of a technique invented to achieve the same playback volume of audio files. It specifies the reference level of 89dB and an algorithm to measure the perceived loudness of audio data. Replay Gain allows the loudness of each song within a collection of songs to be consistent. This is called 'Track Gain', or 'Radio Gain' in earlier parlance. It also allows the loudness of a specific sub-collection (an "album") to be consistent with the rest of the collection, while allowing the dynamics from song to song on the album to remain intact. This is called 'Album Gain', or 'Audiophile Gain' in earlier parlance. This is usually important when listening to classical music albums, because quiet tracks need to remain a certain degree quieter than the louder ones. Replay Gain - Hydrogenaudio Knowledgebase this comes included in foobar2000 also it's better than zhuinden's solution, IN YOUR FACE :P 1 Share this post Link to post
