|
|
>This mini-HOWTO was created because of my experience with burning music CDs
|
|
and lack of some specific information about sound normalization on the
|
|
Internet. I usually burn music CDs as a mix - different songs from different
|
|
sources.Very often volume level between songs varies greatly. This is the
|
|
first obstacle. Second, many of the files on the Internet are not
|
|
CD-compatible (16 bit, stereo, 44.1 kHz) and have to be converted. There are
|
|
many programs to burn music CDs from MP3 files, and many of them do the
|
|
conversion transparently. But I haven't seen a single tool that also
|
|
normalizes the volume, so that's why I worked out my own CD-burning recipe.</P
