| + | ====== Volume Adjustment and Dynamic Range Compression using dynaudnorm and compand ====== | ||
| + | Normally, dynamic range compression is bad. Makes music sound lifeless. However, I hate adjusting volume between and during tracks when I'm walking. \\ | ||
| + | Normalization takes care of consistent volume across tracks but not sudden jumps or louder rms. | ||
| + | Dynaudnorm can essentially vary the volume throughout a track based on the peak volume, without losing range. | ||
| + | |||
| + | For most uses, only use dynaudnorm, don't even add the compand. My use here is more aggressive and will change volumes much faster as well as compress range a bit (hopefully without distorting too much). \\ | ||
| + | Compand will basically compress the range, and will probably distort, so use with caution, esp when mixing like this. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In this case, this is literally music for me when I'm walking, and needs to take up minimal space on my phone, so I compress with opus at 64 or even 32 kbit/s. While that would sound like garbage in the mp3 era, 64 is ok, and 32 most certainly artifacts, but still usable, especially with my garbage earbuds from a Samsung Galaxy Q I'm waiting on to stop working. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Sounds bad? yes. but at least I don't have to reach into my pocket to change volumes every minute. | ||
