any program that will fix tape "playout"?

[mazinz]

hey whats up?

I was curious about this particular issue. I have some tapes that have some extreme playout on them. I also use soundforge and i know i can just find those sections of the tape and raise the volume. However in the cases i'am refering to, it is complete overkill. So i was curious is their is any program that lets say will select the entire file and go through it and raise/lower all the volume so it all equals the same audio level in the end?
Again i know the volume control can do this but that will raise the already loud sections as well as the regular. I guess you could call what im after a raise/lower to one equal volume in step option, if such a thing exist.

wouldnt TMPGENC's "normalize audio" feature work?

You need a volume shaping tool. I don't know Sound Forge, but Cool Edit Pro does it. Also, Goldwave. It's still manual, but you can have precise control.

I was looking for something that does this also... I have about 8 .mpa files that I need to make their volume around the same levels, and also remove some clicks/pops.. But I can't find anything to do it with. If you find anything let me know.

i have some version of cooledit pro floating around here somewhere, i can give that a try as well as the normalization (sound forge has that ) that a previous poster mentioned,. Although i will not have a chance to do any of that tonight
