The issue of audio quality in the new and modern devices has changed so substantially in the last 3 or 4 years, that what was true 4 years ago, is archaic and has now expired.
One of the problems that have arisen with the appearance of modern audio devices is the problem of
unbalanced gains in volume gain between different tracks.
But in truth it is not just a
different volume gains, inadequate or inconsistent between different tracks in your playlist.
This is not just to
increase the gain of volume of an mp3, or just
boost the gain level of low, mids or treble.
What we seek is now readjusting those mp3 tracks to sound properly in the current devices and music players.
To do this the Mp3Gain was outdated and not sufficiently efficient to bring our mp3 tracks to current needs.
Here is an example: When Michael Jackson, Pink Floyd, Queen, The Beatles, etc. recorded their classic albums, they were not available at that time the kind of portable audio device we have today. Therefore, the albums could not be mastered in order to be heard in these modern audio devices.
How crucial is the difference between mastering an album with the aim of modern portable audio devices, and the original mastering that was done keeping in mind standard audio devices (typically analog)?
And all this ... has to do with the theme of the
volume gain?
An additional question (very important one):
Regarding the albums being produced today in the music industry, these albums are being mastered to be played in typical portable audio devices (high-or medium-range)?
The answer is no.
That is why it is typical that you "discover" (we could say "suffers") problems when you try to play your music in one of those modern sound devices or even in the computer.
The first song begins ... everything seems fine ... maybe it is necessary to
adjust the volume gain of your mp3 ... but when I start the second mp3, it is necessary to make a further
adjustment in the gain volume... At the end, you need to become on the slave of the
volume gain slider of the audio device and if you are very strict on terms of reproduction's quality, you are also forced to re-equalizer with each new mp3 track that starts playing. That was not the idea at the beginning!!
Thus began the history of
Mp3Gain: trying to find a solution to this problem of the ups and downs jumps and falls in
volume gains.
But the solution proposed by
Mp3Gain was very limited: just trying to give a few blows to
gain volume slider, but that was not at all efficient.
For this reason, the editors of this magazine, decided to publish on this month edition, an article that addresses this issue in depth: how to batch adjust the
mp3 gain volume.
We already mentioned that to anyone who is learning how to optimize their collection of mp3 files, will soon discover a new need: not only the need to adjust the
"volume gain" part, so that the reproduction of a playlist is consistent in terms of
volume, but will discover soon that he should complete re equalizer (batch equalize) the whole collection, to obtain a standard quality during playback of any playlist. But not only seeking to resolve the
"volume gain" and equalization points, and that the mp3s are consistent between different tracks during a playlist, but wished to be satisfied with "the best possible sound" and that those settings and adjustments are compatible with the audio device.
Probably should add a
bass boost, and qualify and define (highlight) the higher frequencies to have a "brightness" and "presence" in line with the current quality of audio.
The perfect tool to make these quality adjustments such as bass boost and a general re equalization is
Mp3Doctor PRO.
During our evaluation test, we discovered with pleasure that
Mp3Doctor PRO not only offers the most exquisite algorithm to adjust the
volume gain, but adds additional possibilities such as batch equalization and even modify the pitch or tempo. 'A gem for lovers of quality sound.'"
