I think the terminology all amounts to much the same thing. Or you could use a different GUI such as AnotherGUI which is quite handy for working with ffmpeg.Ĭompression or gain control etc. It just means you can open any type of audio foobar2000 can decode (which is just about any format with the help of additional plugins) and compress it and convert to another format with a couple of mouse clicks. i -ignore_length true -af dynaudnorm=f=150 -c:a libmp3lame -q:a 2 %d Or you could simply compress and convert to MP3 with ffmpeg with this command line in foobar2000: d /c c:\progra~1\foobar2000\encoders\ffmpeg.exe -i -ignore_length true -c:a pcm_f32le -af dynaudnorm=f=150 -f wav - | c:\progra~1\foobar2000\encoders\QAAC\qaac.exe -ignorelength -s -no-optimize -no-delay -V 63 -o %d. It might look a bit convoluted but it compresses with ffmpg/Dynamic Audio Normalizer, then sends the audio to QAAC for conversion to AAC. I have a preset for converting set up in foobar2000 with the following command line. ffmpeg comes with the Dynamic Audio Normalizer built in and it works pretty much the same way as RockSteady (the standalone version of the Dynamic Audio Normalizer isn't as GUI friendly as the ffmpeg version). For converting I still use RockSteady sometimes but it's a bit of a pain as it only comes as a WinAmp plugin. Plus if I remember correctly you need to feed it a wave file which isn't always ideal when converting one format to another. It was really designed for compressing/levelling speech specifically. Personally I don't think Levelator is the best choice for compressing while converting. You'd probably have to send him a copy of the program, or a link to it.

If you send a PM to Baldrick and ask he might add Levelator to the software list for you.
