Re: Daylight Savings Time has begun

My chickens didn't even notice the change. They still expect to be fed at the same time of day (not clock time)!

Re: *SOLVED* Audio LEVELER not NORMALISER

I just tried your script out on a four minute mp4 - it works! Something I have noticed. If there is a spike (click/pop/etc) that goes to 0db then the resulting volume is based from that and comes out lower than you might expect. When that happens I just load it into Audacity and remove the spike the...

I did learn a thing or two today, thanks to Dai - and had fun doing it!

Re: *SOLVED* Audio LEVELER not NORMALISER

I think that works. I replaced the file name with $1.
follow most of it, but got lost on newgain=`echo "${mygain//[!0-9.]/}"` which I realise sets the gain, but not sure of what is going on.
Thanks for doing that, much cleaner than what I would have came up with!

Re: *SOLVED* Audio LEVELER not NORMALISER

I noticed that too. Will work on it a bit, but I'm thinking of making a temp file from the loudnorm output, finding the max and if it is not 0db then increase it by the difference into a new file. Have to experiment a bit, some parameters there that I'm not real familiar with.

Re: Audio LEVELER not NORMALISER

Thanks Dai! That looks like it will do it for me!
Strange that in all the many web pages I have looked through I have never ran into that option before!
BUT - I don't think I will forget it very soon!

Re: Audio LEVELER not NORMALISER

If you load it into Audacity, select all, go to effects and select Leveller with "heavier" setting you should see what I'm trying to do with a script. Actually this clip is pretty much ok for me, except for the guest being so loud that when I turn the volume down to a comfortable level for...

Re: Audio LEVELER not NORMALISER

Oh, as for option 3 -
My impression is that the same amplification is applied across the entire file. In the example given the entire file will receive a 5db amplification. If the maximum read is 0db then no amplification will be done on any of the file.
