Therefore the reference is well below the maximum.
A typical heavy metal song (with a high sound level throughout the song) gets a normalization level below this reference and an easy listening song (with more quiet passages) above. A ref value is used around which the volume is adjusted. ReplayGain defines an algorythm to calculate the normalization and the format of the volume data to store, it does not prescribe exactly how and where the volume data is stored in the file! For mp3 it seems to recommend ID3 tags. With loudness a level is determined how loud a file sounds to the human ear. Here I took 2 sceenshots with the same scale from Nero Wave Edittor of 2 songs.Ī peak normalization example of a typical hard rock song:Ī peak normalization example of a typical easy listening song:Īs you can imagen the hard rock song sounds much louder during playback. The disadvantage of peak normalization can be explained with an example. The optimizer only needs to look for the max level in the song. This max level seems to differ between optimizers.The advantage of peak normalization is that it is fast. The audio is then scaled such that the peak is at the predefined max level. With peak normalization the max level in the file is determined. How is the normalization determined in mp3 files Peak There are (at least) 2 common ways of determining the normalization of a file. Wanted to change/modify the mp3 files such that on all players the music is at same level and each player plays different songs at the same level. I am using iTunes (v8.0) to manage my song collection, WinAMP (v5.552) player on the computers, iRiver mp3 player(model IFT 180) and Nokia phone as standalone players and an iPOD (classic 30GB). The same song would play noticeably louder on one player than on another and on one player all songs did not play equally loud. Having a fairly large set of mp3 files I found that the playback level over different songs and also on different players gave different loudness results. How do the players handle the normalization.
