So the thing I hate about these homemade comps is I'm aggregating stuff with various bitrates and sound levels. I use MP3Gain to try to get some consistency, but I honestly don't hear much difference in levels after processing. Without re-encoding anything, does anyone have any solutions so I'm not torturing you with LOUD quiet LOUD LOUD quiet songs? ?
Anyways, here's some bands I've been listening to this week.
01 - Claw Hammer - Vigil Smile
02 - Kelley Stoltz - Underwater's Where the Action Is
03 - Nar - Hi, We're Nar / I Like Times
04 - Fourth Rotor - Price Of Buying
05 - Fitz Of Depression - Form A Line
06 - J. Gls Bnd - Piss On The Wall
07 - The Dopamines - Expect the Worst
08 - Sick Of It All - My Life
09 - Floodgate - At Rest
10 - The Way - My City Goes Down
11 - Noothgrush - Darell's Porno Song
12 - The Aquabats - Super Rad
13 - The Broadways - What Happened?
14 - Puffball - Back On The Sauce
15 - Modern Machines - I Are Ropeless
16 - Lemuria - Rough Draft
17 - Testament - P.C.
18 - Side By Side - Backfire
19 - Taste Of Fear - Ladders Fall
20 - Skrupel - Santa Racist
21 - The Dragons - Sad Vacation
22 - Verse - Waiting On Revolution

24 - Slow Gherkin - Bad Driver
25 - The Suicide Machines - Face Another Day
26 - Decrepit - Chemical Imbalance

It's an annoying problem. When i can, i listen to comps like this on itunes, which has a playback feature that automatically equalizes the volume between songs (more or less). Other than that, i got nothing. Great playlist though.
ReplyDeleteTHIS is the reason I am moving away from mp3 encoded files. Between the bit stuffing, and the erratic volume encoding, I've moved on to FLAC files exclusively. At the very least, you can decode the FLAC to a proper losless WAV file and, using a digital audio workstation, apply your ideal volume levels and you are free to re-encode back to mp3 or flac with no penalty. It is tons of work, but I am compelled to do it.
