Kristina HurleyInstall it, start it, drag a .wav file on top and it will level out the voices. I then opened the .wav file in Audacity again and exported as an .mp3.
One of the biggest frustrations of people who record and edit audio is the amount of time it takes to fix volume level issues.
If you record two people, one of them is invariably softer than the other in the mix. You might turn your head away from the microphone to look at a distraction or have the microphone pointed away from the source. This even happens to the pros on occasion.
To solve this common frustration, Gigavox created The Levelator. Essentially, the software examines a WAV or AIFF file, looks for volume inconsistencies and fixes them.
Thanks, that's a great tool! Be sure though to take the opportunity
presented in podcasting to teach public speaking skills. Strong clear
voice, slow speech, always directed at the microphone. At some point most
of our students will have to speak into a mic and this is a good time to
develop those skills. Also the levelator is a nice quick tool like spell check, but be sure to teach the students some audio editing concepts along the way.
You can easily select a short region of "accidentaly soft" speaking and boost the volume on it. In using the levelator you risk losing some of the dynamics in both voices. -
Tracy SevinThis software automatically levels audio levels in a podcast. Easy!
