MP3 Gain - Audio Normalization for PC and Mac

Software Reviews and Criticism

• By Ed McNeill

  Simple and effective

  I record sermons at my church using a remote mic and a Zoom recorder. There are fans making a low humming sound in the background, so we record at a low volume to avoid picking up the hum. This app lets us quickly and easily increase the gain. It's so easy to use and does exactly what we need without having to launch a larger aplication and wade through the menus to get it done. Thank you!

  So many flaws

  I do not recommend purchasing this app. - The app description says the app “losslessly” adjusts audio files to “a" specified target volume. Not true. For some songs, quality loss is not very noticeable. But for some, I heard glitches during adjustments. - Also, based on the description, I thought I would have the option to set a volume and have the app do all the work: make the volumes consistent for multiple songs. Like Sound Check in itunes. Wrong. One must change each individual song volume manually. - It’s also difficult to preview songs. There is no way to fast forward or rewind the songs while previewing. - After you apply volume changes, the original audio files are altered. You have no option to save as separate copies. It’s only 2.99, but I would save this money and buy a better app.

  not for large batching conversions

  This app is most appropriate for converting a small number of files at one time. An album at a time, to be exact. MP3 Gain does not have the capability of maintaining a typical iTunes generated hierarchy when choosing an output target: e.g. the target winds up being the album folder for each converted file. Therefore, to maintain the hierarchy that iTunes, and, a USB port recognizing car stereo might use, the files have to be converted one album at a time to maintain the proper drill down. Probably a 3 week task for my 16GB flash drive of music favorites for my car. Sorry I spent the $2.99.

  New version is TERRIBLE!

  The old version was simple and worked great. Where is the add folders option or the recursive?
