View Full Version : PreGain not working in BeSweet?

I'm trying to normalize a TV capture audio and encode to MP2 with BeSweet. I've done this probably hundreds of times without any problems, but now it seems that the PreGain normalizing doesn't work. The result is as quiet as the original WAV clip.

If I use HybridGain, the audio is normalized properly.

Here's the log:

Hi Boulder,

I canīt comment on Pre-Gain normalizing but hereīs a working
commandline:
-core ( -input "%in" -output "%out.mpa" ) -ssrc ( --normalize ) -2lame ( -m s -b 256 -e )

Where of course %in is a placeholder for the input file :)

cu,
D$
