Good idea but this would cause to play songs with a high amplitude (this
are "normal" songs as the amplitude should use the full range of 16 bits)
with a low output gain, to catch up songs with a low amplitude. The output
gain of my soundcard is quiet low and I would receive more noise from
You are right if you are talking of mixing lots of tracks. But for one
time normalization of a final track (that what we are talking about) it is
absoulutely irrelevant, where my samples are from (single sample from
analog or mixed from 256 sources). I have 16 Bit Samples and I introduce
an
This is nearly what I would understand of normalization except don't use
different factors for left and right channel. This would change balance in
the soundfile. Instead use the lower value of the amplification factors
for left and right channel.

I think performance loss due to rounding errors can be ignored because:
rounding errors are _very_ small
(if we take 16 it samples we have values from -32767 to +32768
if we assume we have a sample around +-16000 and double
the amplitude we get around +-32000 with an error of
Hi all,
I'm following this list for some time with great interest and I think you are
doing a great job. As I don't know anything of sound compression theory, my view
on LAME is kind of "endusers" view.
I am a bit concerned that usability is difficult due to automated settings of
features in
