>Also: You can find a spoken version of the first issue of The Iron >Age, "Meet Interesting Singles in Your Area", >here. Damn you, Gryphon. I spent five years of my life writing my own epic BGC fic, and finally put it to bed a few years back. And now just after listening to this thing for half an hour, I want to go back and write another one. -- Bob (P.S. The gain on section five is far too low. I had to crank my car's stereo just to be able to hear it while driving. Then I got earblasted when track six came on.) ------------------- I intend to be a freak for the rest of my life, and I shall baffle you with cabbages and rhinoceroses in the kitchen and incessant quotations from Now We Are Six through the mouthpiece of Lord Snooty's giant poisoned electric head. So theeeeeere... |

>How's that? I don't have very sophisticated tools, but a quick >eyeball comparison of the graphs the two files produced seemed to >indicate that the volume level on bit 5 is now about the same as on >bit 6. Okay, I just went and compared the mp3s on my system, and you're right -- they're both the same volume as far as my ear can determine. It must have been some unexpected artifact of burning them to a set of CDs for listening to in my car. But I've never had something like that happen before unless the files weren't normalized to each other to begin with and I also had disk-wide normalization turned off in my burning software -- which certainly wasn't the case this time. So, weird. My apologies for the false accusation. -- Bob ------------------- I intend to be a freak for the rest of my life, and I shall baffle you with cabbages and rhinoceroses in the kitchen and incessant quotations from Now We Are Six through the mouthpiece of Lord Snooty's giant poisoned electric head.

(By "How's that?" I meant "download it again and see if it's better," not "What'chu talkin' 'bout, Willis?" :) The amplitude of the graph it displayed in WavePad was, indeed, considerably smaller than those of its neighbors, so I amplified it to about 150%, so the wave peaks looked about the same size. Depending on the MP3 player you're using on your computer, it might be correcting for high/low rec levels automatically (I know iTunes can do this, the config option is called "sound check", IIRC), which your CD player wouldn't have been doing. --G. -><- Benjamin D.

I took it as the latter, and just listened to my local copies. Downloading a new copy of section 5 now. >Depending on the MP3 player you're using on your computer, it might be >correcting for high/low rec levels automatically (I know iTunes can do >this, the config option is called "sound check", IIRC), which your CD >player wouldn't have been doing. Yeah, that's probably the case -- at least, it explains all the facts. I'll let you know how the reburn comes out. Thanks. -- Bob ------------------- I intend to be a freak for the rest of my life, and I shall baffle you with cabbages and rhinoceroses in the kitchen and incessant quotations from Now We Are Six through the mouthpiece of Lord Snooty's giant poisoned electric head.
