Normalizing your democracy / miro podcast volumes automatically

Submitted by dgtlmoon on Tue, 2008-05-20 15:12.

Heres a handy script I use to normalize and compress the audio in podcasts downloaded by my Democracy / Miro player.

This is much nicer when im sitting at my desk working and listening, i dont need to fiddle with the volume-knob mid sub-routine when i'm coding, very handy for smoothing out audio in news feeds where they have a loud news banner/jingle/intro sound followed by various voices.

This just runs at cronjob using 'normalize-audio' audio package

I've been involved with Linux since around the 2.0.2x series kernels in around November 1996. Admittedly I was of pure hacker-mentality had no real idea of what it would take to run a business that depended on the desktop to perform it's duties, such as printing, saving, loading/retrieving, web-browsing, network file system connectivity. I was just happy to be able todo interesting stuff with my TCP stack and write my own software without having to fork-out big dollars for the experience.
