Otherwise you may have a configuration that leads to a slider to change release, moving that all the way to short also eliminates pumping. Immediate Mode if it's available makes a postitive difference, eliminates the rare pumping. When you said 'one of the best' I took that as others were better or just as good but must have misunderstood. I may try CSharp at some point, thanks for the link but really content on W7 LEQ. RAC didn't work here either, there are some other dsp's I tried with short names like *AC but not worth finding again or suggesting. Did you get anywhere with it? I don't remember having this sort of problem with the older version of Stereo Tool but know it was either ineffective or had a lot of pumping as all the dsp's I tested. Having not tested winamp dsp's for a couple years now, I decided to try the latest Stereo Tool and couldn't achieve understandable dialect after enabling AGC and tweaking other settings for about 20 minutes. Now I know that compressing the sound amounts to deforming it, but if it means not having to constantly turn the volume up or down then I'm all for it. The thing about broadcast sound is that no matter how much noise there is around you, provided the volume of the movie/music is loud enough you will be able to hear EVERYTHING, which is not the case on a DVD / Bluray. Sorry for the noobish question but what is LEQ? However the difference between quiet and loud can still be too high.

What I meant is that W7 loudness equalization (not sure what the immediate mode does) is certainly one of the bes options because it's free and does a decent job. What were the other compressors you found just as good? So, if anyone knows a good loudness control software, preferable made with movies in mind, please post about it! However multiband compression can achieve something similar. Dynamic equalization would be necessary to compensate for that but I don't know any free tool doing that. There's a lot of broadcast hardware dealing with it but unfortunately very few software.Īnother complication than fluctuation I find quite disturbing is the change of spectrum the compressors cause. I really read a lot about loudness the last few months and it is a tough problem, both measuring it the way humans perceive it and controlling it without causing audible artifacts.

Some software which is probably less known and I couldn't test:ĬSharp () (only works with win7 but I'm on win8 support told me there'll be a new product for win8 some months ago)

One probably needs an audio engineer spending a few hours with it to come up with some nice movie settings. It is certainly able to do the job, however as said above, all the presets overcompress because they are made for agressive FM broadcast which totally sucks. a broadcast tool including a multiband compressor which is actually used for radio and TV, Stereo Tool is the tool of choice.

If he wants a free version of Breakaway Enhancer, i.e. So now I'm trying to find a similar software or plugin that can be used with MPC-HC or ffdshow. It's actually a multi-band compressor and I found it does exactly when I've been looking for, problem is it's not free. I managed to find a solution that satisfied me by using a third-party app called Breakaway Audio Enhancer. And even that doesn't boost quiet parts enough.Īnyway thank you all for your answers. Really? Whenever I use that it does boost the volume indeed, but doesn't compress it at all unless unless I tick "regain volume". That will boost the volume and compress dynamic range. You can find a normalize option on the Volume page in ffdshow audio decoder.

The DRC option only has effect if the audio stream contains DRC information. Problem is when used in ffdshow, winamp plugins aren't very easy to configure.

You'll be better off using a winamp2/VST plugin in ffdshow for proper dynamics compression, and if you're downmixing to stereo an elaborated mixing matrix will make things a lot more bearable(especially with headphones). Thats one of the best options I've found, but it's still not enough for my taste.

Another option if you have windows 7/8 and a supported soundcard you can enable loudness equalization () which affects all audio but does a great job of keeping sounds within a good range.
