Hello I just set up abcde/cdparanoia/lame to rip some CDs, the problem is that some of them turn out with very low volume. what can I do about this? I certainly don't want to use normalize: I want to increase the volume uniformly across a whole cd, not just the quiet parts. Are there any mp3 editing tools that would let me change frame headers (global_gain?) or would this cause clipping when I play them? This is what happened when I cranked up the --scale option for lame. or is this approach fundamentally wrong. help!
I am using: abcde v1.9.9 cdparanoia III release 9.8 (March 23, 2001) LAME version 3.87 (beta 1, Jun 8 2001) --
