Re: [Asterisk-Users] Audio level in compressed wav files

2004-09-13 Thread Brian Cuthie
Unfortunately, this doesn't really work out to be a great solution. The 
dynamic range of the original recording is limited and scaling it after 
the fact just yields fairly distorted sounding recordings.

It seems like the problem is a bug in the implementation of the 
compressed file format encoders, or the process by which they get 
invoked. I guess I'm going to have to dig into the code.

Take a look at sox (type man sox at the command prompt if sox it installed
for details on the options available).  There is a vol argument that
allows you to adjust the gain.  If this is what you need, you can call sox
after record (using the system command) to adjust the gain.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Audio level in compressed wav files
Anybody know an easy way to adjust audio level of recordings made in 
Asterisk (using the 'record' application)?  I've noticed that recordings 
using the wav format are about twice the level of those made using 
WAV or wav49. Unfortunately, the wav recordings are uncompressed 
and about 10 times the size of the other formats.

 Well the problem isn't so much a problem as it is just the way these things 
 work.  Compressed files have smaller bytes, so they are quieter than the 
 uncompressed variety.

I hope that is meant as funny. In truth the plain WAV format bit shifts
the audio up before storage and bit shifts down before playing. No other
format does that. Look to the code for true guidance.
