Saint_K · Feb 5, 2004, 02:04 PM

Hey all,
I bought myself a nice cd/mp3 player, only the problem is, the volume cant go up alot, so when i listen to a cd or so, i almost cant hear it. Do any of you know if there is a program what i can burn cd's with and automatic burn it at a higer volume so i can hear it good on my player??

Greets!

what cd/mp3 player do you have? we had this problem with the iriver player we got.. you have to use the little remote extender to control the volume.. the headphones have to be plugged into it as well.. i use nero to burn mp3 to regular audio cd's and it works fine..

For CD Audio? or for MP3?

For CD Audio, the basic start is to normalize the entire compilation, Or to normalize each track if you aren't concerned about tracks that are meant to be quieter.

For more than that, you are into dynamic range compression - this little freeware one works quite well -

If the original source is not crammed to peak level already, you can easily get 10dB or more.
Use the slow compressor to gain 7dB, with fairly low compression and a mediun starting level, and then grab another 3dB with the fast compressor.

If there are only a few peaks, then do more work with the fast compressor.

For MP3's, it may or may not honour "replaygain".

Ok ill try that, and the player is a sony atic3 player, but the low volume basicly comes from mp3's with low vol.
