rsgain VS ffmpeg-normalize

I currently use rsgain and I will never look for anything else! Not sure if it's available on Fedora (it probably is) but it's available in GitHub and it should be easy to build from source.

I was using Foobar and now rsgain. I do it as a manual process.

I'm the author of the Windows version of loudgain. I'm glad you found it useful. However, note that I did provide Windows executables on the release page. Most users should just download the .zip file from there and extract it. The Visual Studio setup is mostly for people who are interested in development.

Have you considered using ffmpeg-normalize? I use it regularly to normalize the loudness of both mp4's and mp3's and I find it very easy to use.

You can manually adjust using ffmpeg. measure volume with ebur128 filter then change it with volume filter. There is script for it https://github.com/slhck/ffmpeg-normalize but manual work is easy to do.

Have you got any scripts to share? I came across this project a couple months ago: https://github.com/slhck/ffmpeg-normalize

To normalize the audio levels so that they don't get too loud or too soft. Though I wouldn't use it if you have less than 64 kbit/second/track.

Normalize Volume

I'm trying to setup [ffmpeg-normalize](https://github.com/slhck/ffmpeg-normalize), and I'm actually having problems specifically with properly mastered media with quite and loud bits. loudnorm doesn't accept an lra of over 20, but some tracks have got a higher lra than that - Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon is an excellent example of that, the first track fades in from silence and is supposed to be a seamless transition into the second track. But with an lra of over 20, it goes into dynamic mode, and there is then a noticable step in loudness when the track changes.
