What you're looking for is called "replay gain" (alternative spelling, |
| 20 |
"replaygain"). Basically, it's a two-step process : (1) analyze the |
| 21 |
'effective loudness' of a track, and (2) add a tag indicating the |
| 22 |
difference between the measured 'effective loudness' with a reference level |
| 23 |
of 89 dB SPL |

The above wiki article might be out of date with regards to the available |
| 28 |
software. Try asking around in the HydrogenAudio forums. They are a bunch |

of friendly guys ;-) |

any forum discussions for several years.) |
