Default Name that program

I know it has been gone over many times. But I can not remember the name of the program that sets all the songs volumes to the same point in your music file. Can someone remind me?

Thanks
Brad

When I am changing the settings on my the selected songs so they are all the same it has a choice of db settings. The default is 89db. Is this what you guys are using or is a different db number a better choice for overall sound?

I run 93, recall discussions here about running 95 (either Tailwind or Sly as I recall). 89 is FOR SURE too low.

you can find the mp3gain.exe on "my" shared dropbox - go to the test amp results sticky and go to post 1. open URL link and dig around, it is there.

Mp3 gain allows you to do adjustments on 1.5 db steps.
What I do is to take a song and check the level on MP3 gain.
Then take it to anothe program called Audacity (Free) and adjust it there to the desire level, base on the MP3 gain level.
Audacity is a very powerfull program and allows you to atually see the distortion and manipulate the song in many ways.
For example I cut all the silence before and after the songs if any, so my playlist have all the songs without gap between them.
Once I have the song to the level that I want (I found 94 beind the best evel for me without distortion showing on Audacity), I take the song back to MP3 gain and check that the level is at the desire level (94).
MP3 gain will show in some cases that there is distortion, even when Audacity doesn't. Base on my experience Audacity is way more accurate than MP3 gain, but unfortunaley there is not an easy way to quantify the signal level on Audacity.
