I noticed when I burn Mp3's to disk (after writing to wav.)
that some songs are really loud wich sends me scurrying to
the volune control and some are very low. I'm useing EZ-creator 4.5 . Is there any software that lets you adjust the
audio level?? Thanks in advance, Barry.

Thanks for the response Paulson. I am recording the WAV files,
not the mp3's themselves..

you need somethink like mp3cd or spin doctor to normalize all the tracks before burning them

I think nero uses a root mean square equation to determine that volume it will burn the CD's at.

Get AudioGrabber. It is by far the best 25 bucks I have spent on anything mp3.

It rips CD's to wav files. It has a normalizer that reads in the whole wav and sets the average volume to a preset(user settable) level. I have used a plug-in for win-amp that supposed to change the volume, but what it does is try and raise soft passages and lower loud ones on the fly. What you lose is the dynamics of the music. Since the normalizer in AudioGrabber reads in the whole wav file before doing any adjusting, it raises every part enough so that the loudest section is where you want it, leaving the dynamics of the music intact. Of course, if you want to compress the sound (flatten the loudness so all passages are closer to the same level), you can do that too. It gives you the choice.

It is wonderful. By putting in a third party encoder, you can create mp3's with it too. Get the LAME encoder that is linked on their news page. Works well with stereo VBR.
