    Default Track volumes

    Hey all,

    Is there a programme out there I can use that will convert all my music files to 1 identical volume? If so, does this affect the bit rate in any way / dynamics of the track?

    Cheers

    Don't do that.

    Just rig the channel gain in traktor or whatever timecoded system you're using.

    There's no worse thing you can do than to "normalise" a track according to the rest of your collection.....

    It could easily granulize the sound, destroy your dynamics and make the sound pretty crappy all around, depending. If you want you can run them through a compressor, but every track would need to be compressed differently to prevent clipping.

    :-/ No easy fix, I don't think
    It's the FAQ. Read it.

    and if so get softakeover assigned to your VCI SE gain knobs otherwise the volume jumps when adjusting the gain.
