MP3 vs FLAC.
First off, I could export FLAC plus almost any other format from Audacity. I'm doing the whole process for convenience and portability. In many of my rooms, cars, mobile players, my wife and I did a test and we couldn't hear the difference between MP3 and FLAC. Not every player I have supports FLAC. I have a 2013 Merc CLS550 that won't play them, and I can plug in a 1Tb USB Hard drive with MP3. To be fair, do you really think carefully produced MP3, or a FLAC file would sound any different on a Boom, Radio, or much anything except a Transporter, which I have in my living room. Even there, my wife and I struggled to hear the difference. Second, the first step of the macro I use on Audacity, post recording, saves the recording as a WAV file. I've had to go back to a few and rework them. I tried VinylStudio when I first started, and you are right, it was complex. That said, Audacity isn't that easy. I'll give Vinylstudio another go. Wavecorrector has also been recommended. You can hear a sample of what I've done hear, butchered by youtube transmission, also same website has mixcloud mixes. https://www.ctproduced.com/baddest-grover-washington-jr/ Of course, none of this helps with the original question equalization across tracks from different sources. --------------------------- http://markcathcart.com/about Running LMS Server, currently 7.9.2 on Headless WIN10 System; music on Netgear ReadyNAS; Transporter(Living Room)+Duet Controller; Squeezebox Touch(Master Bedroom), (2x)Boom(Office, Patio), Radio(Guest Bedroom), Classic(garage), Duet(basement).
