anyway to adjust mp3 file loudness with audacity speedily : soft or (soft + loud intermixed) mp3 file
by andrewysk from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5NNSP)
I have got 100 over speech recording mp3 that i am listening when i work.
The problem i am facing now is the recording was not done well.
Some mp3 are fine - loud enough throughout.
some mp3 are very soft spoken - can't hear a thing when i am working.
some mp3 are partial very soft (can't hear at all), and partial loud enough **due to multiple speakers involved**
I have being using "audacity > effect > compressor" to adjust the waveform so that they are almost evenly high (pull low wave high and leave high wave form alone); and then highlight the whole track to export (file > export > export as mp3) and give it original filename with addition of "-modified" in the file name.
It took me several minutes to do 1 mp3 file . I still have got a lot more to go through.
Q1.
I am would like to know if there is way to make it faster ? any automated way using cli or script that i can modified to do the task ?
Q2.
Is it my method is wrong ? audacity never export my adjusted mp3 file to the same original file name.. instead it by default shows previously used file name.
I highlight the track (adjusted loudness) then "file > export > export as mp3" , but then the file name is not the original file name, but rather previously exported file name. **my method to save the "adjusted" mp3 to file is wrong ?
Thanks.
