i second the tab-mute, but i guess with streaming media (and in-file operations) it is too hard to normalize the volume: imgagine a streaming talk, there are people talking loudly, some are whispering asides, there are pauses with jsut some backgraound murmur, - all would be normalized to one volume. For between-tracks volume changes tools thatnormalize the volume already exist. (With catastrophic consequences for classical pieces and Metal sitting side by side) |

@loonqual - "there are people talking loudly, some are whispering asides, there are pauses with jsut some backgraound murmur" -- (I'm guessing) Today's "offline" normalization methods (which work great for for MP3s) calculate the average volume of ,say, 10 tracks , and readjust the volume of each track so that it's OWN average volume equals the TOTAL average. So, with "live" normalization, the "total" average above would be the average of the last ,say, 15 minutes, and the "track average" would be the average of the last, say, 15 seconds. so for the case in question, if someone decides to start whispering in the middle of a podcast, after 15 seconds the volume will start rising gradually, and after 30 seconds will equal the volume he was speaking at before he started whispering. (I think I got this theoretically straight...) |

What seems to be the problem? Everything in my life is normalized. |

I'd promote that as a first class idea. |

I DEMAND control of the decibel levels on my
computer and electronic devices! I want to nail this
demand to the doors of all those responsible for the
utter lack of a volume knob or mute button in any
web browser. It should be as easy to reach as the
address bar. I'm looking right at you Apple, Microsoft,
and Google! Where's the volume knob on your
browsers? I haven't seen such a beast in any of the
"alternative" browsers when it would be such a
valuable gimmick to have. I think the main culprit is
the company too evil--even for me--to mention by
name: %$#@dobe |
