Good eve.

I am a relative newbie, and although I can generally do everything I
want, I was wondering if there was a way to pump a sound byte up to
its maximum volume...


...what i mean is, if, for example, I have a voice soundbyte, where
some instances of the byte aren't very loud, but others are very loud,
I would like to pump up the quiet bits without pumping up the loud
bits and causing them to fuzz and sound pap (i'm sure there's a tech
term, wen it goes over that line in CEP2 basically!)

Anyway, if there is such a method I'd welcome it, perhaps i've missed
something glaringly obvious!!?

Thanks in advance,

T.



If you're playing the files on a PC, the FooBar2000 media player lets you
do exactly what you asked in real time. Go to the DSP menu in preferences
and play with the dynamics compressor.

Ooooh, I've noticed that player has a better quality to it then winamp
anyway, the tunes seem richer, deeper. But it's a struggle to get away from
my trusty winamp...!! Do you use this player all the time?
