I like to make compilation CDs mixing tracks from various titles in WAV format. What is the best (and preferably FREE) software out there that you can recommend that I use to normalize all the tracks? I use Nero but the resulting distortion on some of the tracks is distracting. Thanks in advance for your help!
As advised, I downloaded Audacity and fumbled with it for nearly an hour and still cannot make the freeware functional. Is there a tutorial somewhere as I am pretty clumsy when the software is not highly intuitive. Thank you for your time.
There is a huge wiki with guides/tutorials/videos for the challenged.. everything you could ever possibly want to know... like all FOSS - RTFM http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=Audacity_Wiki_Home_Page
