Samplitude has some of the most effective and best sounding plugs I've ever heard in terms of EQ, Gain Reduction and Modeling. all make very good plugs.But that's not to say that DAW manufacturers don't also make very good processors for their programs. In that respect, there are many very good VST processors and processor collections available. I would think that, like any other DAW platform, there is already a compressor that comes stock with Reaper ? - I may be wrong about that, because I'm not a Reaper user, but most DAW's will give you basic EQ and compressor processors.Īny VST plug will work, you don't need to get a "Reaper" processor, unless they sell additional processors, like Harrison MixBus does, which are processors proprietary to that DAW. I haven't downloaded any extra plug-ins for Reaper, as I haven't used it much, so do you think the built-in normaliser would be good enough? Or can you recommend any others I should try?īlue_Whistle88, post: 424671, member: 48849 wrote: Also, are there any Reaper plug-ins (including packs) that you think might be worth getting, including compressors? I'll give Reaper a go though, because it'd be good for me learn a bit more about it. I do compression et al on my multi-tracker :) I've gotten things sounding great with Mp3 Gain normalisation (no worse than a regular compressed wav file anyway), but I just want the normalisation done BEFORE the mp3-compression stage because I'm going to be submitting the masters to a duplicator (as wav files). I know basic volume adjustment is all I need. Therefore, it isn't really processing the audio at all, but rather the metadata which modulates the gain. My understanding is that all mp3 files contain a master gain setting in their metadata (along with media info, technical statistics, etc), and that Mp3 Gain merely adjusts that.

Mp3 Gain lets you do this with an 'Album Gain' option. Well, the idea is to retain the dynamics between different tracks, and just balance them as an 'album' relative to other 'albums'. Thanks heaps in advance for any help you guys can provide! I do have Reaper, but I want to avoid mastering in DAWs because I like the objective standard of the decibel measurement in mp3 Gain, and am hoping to use something similar. I know some amateur audio engineers who could help, but I want to do it myself.
Wav sound normalizer pro#
I had a friend in Australia who used to casually master tracks for me (using Pro Tools), but he's in a bad state at the moment so he can't help.

My multi-track recorder has a hard time mastering songs to an acceptably loud volume, and converting to mp3 causes too much loss in sound quality (so I can't use mp3 Gain). I'm just looking for something simple, where you can load up your wav files, then set the desired 'average' volume level in decibels (or something similar). However, I'm looking for a program that does the same thing for wav files, as mp3 Gain (unsurprisingly) only works with mp3 files. Very handy tool, and I've been using it for years. It doesn't remove the dynamics within each track (or each album even), but basically just allows you to control the general playback level of each file. Some of you may have heard of a program called 'mp3 Gain', which allows you to balance the volume levels of your mp3 files so that they're all roughly the same.
