Equal Audio

Most problems that people have after buring audio tracks from different sources to a cd, is that the sound levels tend to vary from song to song. You have to constantly compensate for the yo-yo effects of these levels peaking and dipping by making regular adjustments on the stereo's volume knob. Most often, the burning software one uses does have features built into them that supposedly takes cares of this during the burning process. However, in addition to enabling the feature within the program, not only does it slow down the overall time it takes to finish the burn, but also, it hardly has any effect on equalizing the sound of the actual tracks. This is because there is TOO much processing going on for that one particular area of the program to make any significant changes.

To avoid this, using a stand-alone piece of software designed to specifically lower/equal out all of the tracks is what's necessary. There is a small, very light on resources, free program that takes care of this for you.......MP3Gain.
