Levelling volume

[kingeryck]

I got sick of my MP3 volume being all over the place and tried out the "Level Track Volume" feature on a few albums to make sure it wouldn't mess them up. It seem to worked fine. So.. I told it to level the volume of my entire library, all 8,000+ files. I left the settings at default. It took 12 hours or something. Wow. Well, it screwed up dozens of albums. They are like 50% or lower than the volume they should be. Some albums are fine, some are so quiet I need to like double the volume to hear it. How do I fix it? Do I need to re-rip all those albums or can I adjust the settings without totally screwing up the files?

Level Track Volume can't be fixed in MediaMonkey, which is why Analyze Volume is recommended instead.

Is there any way to tell if I've run Level Track Volume on any songs?

A couple years ago I was playing around with all the settings and options and may have done that by accident. If I did it was only a small subset of my music. Most is FLAC anyway so wouldn't have been affected but some is MP3.

I'm about to undertake a major migration and could more easily refresh any songs I may have "damaged" before I start that. But, with well over 3000 songs I don't want to do any I don't have to. Thanks

Not in MediaMonkey, not sure about other programs. The only give away in MediaMonkey would be the same (very similar) Track Volume values (around 0.0dB if run at same dB level as Analyze Volume) if Analyze Volume has been run on them.

OK, thanks lowlander.

Followup to OP's issue ...

I thought MM Track Leveling was lossless. Thus, couldn't you just rerun the Track Leveling with a new level against any song already leveled and "fix" it?

I realize you can't undo it. But, given this is lossless what would be the harm in doing it multiple times at different levels?
