The new versions of the server streaming software support enhanced normalization on the back end. Some broadcasters have requests audio tools on the dashboard to control or shape the sound coming from AutoDJ or Scheduled Events. This way, they could do in-line audio processing on the station.

jerrythis would be *huge* as it's also something i'm looking into for my entire library. i know there is software out there that will allow me to normalize my own library and i'm looking into that but it's still a constant battle as i get new music. not sure how easy this would be but i dig it.

Scott BringhurstThis needs to be addressed ASAP. I've had a number of people tell me that their listening experience is degraded by poor sound quality and unequal volumes between tracks. This is NOT my problem. I use SAM Broadcaster to broadcast the same music on a weekly live show and there is no problem with the volumes between tracks. It is quite frustrating to make the effort to put a good channel on the air only to have people turn it off because of poor audio quality.

KevinIt is an important feature to consider adding to the platform. It respects the listener and will retain them longer.

Robert BassI'm OK with it if broadcasters can enable / disable as desired. I do not want it enabled for my LIVE stream because I already have my own processing, but I would consider using it if I ever have to use AutoDJ.

Jim DeBaunAbsolutely. Coming from Sam Broadcaster I am trying to mimic what I had there. The processing and volume between tracks was excellent. I have confidence that this will be addressed as well as the cross fading.

DJ Lorelei MergedEven though I use normalizing software to "fix" my mp3s before I upload them to the station, some songs are still playing on my station at a much lower volume than other songs, especially songs with spoken words in them. It would be nice to have the option to normalize the songs within the Live365 software so that they all play at the same volume recognized by the software that is broadcasting the songs.

Tim BoudreauAuto limit, compress, expand of our stations going over the air, is my second most desired upgrade to Live365 after overlap with no fade.

Alex NievesThis process is critical to the listening experience. I Process all my music before loading it however I can still hear some volume issues every now and then.

DaveI'm new to Live365 and so far this is an issue I'm having. Normalization would make all the difference!

JenniferNormalization is definitely the feature we most need on our station. Would give a much more pro listening experience and enhance the profile and reputation of Live 365. Please add asap ! Thanks

David D DoerrierI agree with everyone on the thread - we need Compression. Out of all the great suggestions for upgrades to Live365 on this site, this is my #1 request. I have normalized all songs before uploading to Live365, but still hear volume fluctuations. Thanks.

Dale HeizerLet's face it, there are no 2 CD's out there that are recorded at the same audio levels, this makes it hard to reduce complaints from listeners that one minute they are turning up the volume to hear a song, then turning back down when it's too loud. Normalization/Gain control is really needed so we don't lose our listeners. I have tried to normalize all songs before uploading to Live365, but there are still volume fluctuations. Please expedite this and here's to a successful 2020 on Live365!

Kevin FordI would love to have normalization as I'm also experiencing a wide range of volume levels when I listen back online after uploading to the station. Especially for the AutoDJ which I use quite a bit... Please, thanks!

SakeBitoFrom back in the pre-2016 Live365 days I learned that prepping songs myself prior to uploading to the playlist is essential for a number of vital technical points, equalization being a big one. Generally I take every song into Audacity and tweak the volume (via the Amplify function in the "Effect" menu) to right at the clipping point - maybe a bit beyond, since it's rock 'n roll and all...
But ad volume relative to content has become increasingly outrageous over the last six months... -

RonnaldoIt would be great to control the general volume of commercials coming from the advertising server. Commercials on my station are consistently louder. We should have more control over the general volume of the commercials. It would really be a plus for my listeners.

KevinBefore starting my station I read many articles from the knowledge base on here. They say many/most broadcasters use AUTODJ and that we want to sound like terrestrial/professional radio as possible. This would make that happen!
