Equalizing sound on multiple audio files

    I have about 40 .mp3 files that are part of a speech that I would like to put on CD. However, the volume varies on different mp3 files. Is there a way I can make the volume the same on every mp3 file in a batch process?

    MP3Gain can do it.

    A spectrum analyser can only give you an idea if a recording is "too loud" = clipping. Every volume below slight clipping will sound the same (ok, if you lower it too much you'll start to hear noise). From what you tell, Nero's normalisation seems to increase volume somewhat in your case ... You might want to check ist with waveform view of some wave editor - you'll see quickly which is louder (and how much) and if it's seriously clipping.

    If you burn CDs from mp3s, applying MP3Gain in a way that no clipping is left before will give you best possible quality. But beware - maybe the files are too silent for some portable players afterwards, so you might want to mp3gain to louder volumes ... In this case you have to find out yourself how much clipping you tolerate. If portable playback is not an issue, just use mp3gain.
