Excuse me fellow Stones fans - I'm not that much of a techie and do not belong to any recording/tech forums so I thought I could try this question here.

I downloaded a bunch of old Stones outtakes from various sources and when I made a play list after putting them in my iTunes they sound great and the compilation came together pretty nicely with one exception - a bunch of the songs all have different volume levels - not a major biggie and I know how to adjust the volume on each track using Goldwave editor, but that's a bit tedious...I was wondering if there are any programs out there that would equalize the volume levels on a group of tracks like this?

I use Cool Edit Pro

It will balance the volume on 100's of songs automatically in one session

It will measure the voulume of each song and then even them out.

Tip - balance accoustioc type music separartely fron noisy band songs - otherwise the accoustics will be too loud,

For mp3s: [mp3gain.sourceforge.net]

When I create compilation CDs I use the normalisation option, It adjust every track to the same peak level

Correct. If you use specific software for that, like Nero f.i., there's always(?) that opion.
If you wanna do it mannualy, song-per-song, I'd advise Audacity. Very handy tool!

Thanks all - I appreciate the help!
