Levelator -A great new podcasting tool
by Anna Farmery
For anyone who struggles to get the volumes correct between files try this new product - The Levelator by Gigavox. Again it is free, which is great but it also solves the issue of having files at different volume levels. One thing to watch out for is that if you have a file that has a high degree of background noise then watch out as the levelator will amplify that as well.
This product is great for interviews when it is difficult to get the sound levels correct, this little magic tool helps sorts it out for you! Great idea….
