I thought the idea of mp3gain was to put a selection of separate files at the same subjective volume level ?
Which does sound useful all the same so thanks for the pointer, but probably not what I need here.
What it sounds like Mark needs is some dynamic compression or peak normailisation actually within the individual tracks rather than bringing all tracks to the same level...I am not sure mp3gain can do that.
That is indeed what I'm after. Ideally a commandline tool (so I can script it for batch processing) - and some idea how to use it too!
However, having phrases like "dynamic compression" and "peak normalisation" in my vocabulary gives me more chance with Google....
I cut this from the audacity man page. It may also give you some starting points.
Audacity is primarily an interactive, graphical editor, not a batch-processing tool. Whilst there is a basic batch processing tool it is experimental and incomplete. If you need to batch-process audio or do simple edits from the command line, using sox or ecasound driven by a bash script will be much more powerful than audacity.
