Level out volume across tracks in flow
I am using Flow quite often, especially on my Yamaha Receiver.
The feature is great but it has one major flaw, that’s the fact that the volume levels across various tracks are very different, from too loud at times to just 50% of normal levels, with no option to do anything about it.
For a service such as Deezer that prides itself on having all the tracks you want on call, it would be good to have all tracks equalised to the same level.
My own digital library has been optimised as such and although it’s a lengthy process, the end results are awesome. There ar various software tools out there that can do this in large batches, so it can be programmed quite easily to maken it all have the same levels.
If needed I could provide such services :)

Thank you for that, but did you tried the equalizer? It’s usually for that.
Anything else, please let me know.

Hi Johnathan,
Thank you for the comment.
Equalisers
As a matter of fact an equalizer is NOT intended to adjust sound volumes, just tonal presence.
Most people use their equalisers - if they have one - wrongly. Remember the old WAVE patterns that equalisers had in the past ? All low end and High end tones up and towards the middle everything down ? This was to compensate ( wrongly ) for the lack of lows and highs in low volume settings which were due to the Bell Curve that made us hear those low and highs less at lower volume levels.
Loudness
Hence the “ discovery “ of the Loudness button, which corrected the Bell curve by adding up to +3 dB to the low and high frequencies. By adjusting the volume knob on the Amp the Loudness section was adjusted, Low volume = more loudness, higher volume = less loudness.
Now in the digital age, there are various options to balance out the input levels of the digital audio streams. As with all audio ( and video ) the old phrase” Shit in is shit out “ is still very much applicable.
So to solve this issue, Deezer needs to level out the basis, in this case being the audio that is sent into the stream. If that is lacking, then anything you add to it later on, will not make it any better.

Sorry, don’t get this ? What does this mean ?
