How to normalize with HeadAC3he

[Muppy]

I whould convert ac3 files to mp3 or ogg files using HeadAC3he v0.23a I don't know how to normalize. Using global gain option, nothing change! Can someone help me??
Sorry for my bad english

check the '2-pass mode' option.

[pacohaas]

normalization in HeadAC3he is done with the 2-pass checkbox and the Normalize to <percentage>

For DSPguru: i checked the '2-pass mode' option.

For pacohaas: tha maxium normalization level, is 100%, i need to increase volume, i don't want it remain constant

Thanks

[DSPguru]

[Muppy]

Where is stored the log file?
Thanks

If it were 95% then 95% of the first pass gain would be applied. You might want to try a higher DRC setting as this could help bring up the volume in some of those quieter scenes without clipping the louder scenes.

here is a screenshoot of my settings: http://www.alientech.it/6.gif what should i change?
What are "DRC setting"??
Thanks

DRC = dinamyc range compression, exact?? If yes, i tried to set booster at 1 and "parameter" at 4, i obtain a really good result.
How does dinamyc range compression works?? :confused:
What is the red curve?? :confused:
How does work "strenght"?? :confused:
Many thanks

read the FAQ's and sticky's at the top of this forum for info on DRC.

the place where i am suggesting you increase it is on the output channels on the options tab, try using Heavy for the left and right along with your 100% normalization. If this is still not enough for you, you can try using the Global Gain instead of the twopass checkbox, and just increase it until you are satisfied with the results(but note that you will experience clipping) Check the readme file for more info on boost, it is another way to do DRC with more configurations.

Don't use 'boosting' for sound, force-boosted sound is problematic for many users...

Rather use TFM audio filter for watching movies (on-fly boosting DS filter, i love it :)...

Thanks
