Volume normalization

Hi Flo.Deezer

Well... ...thank you!

I am not sure what "voting for it" entails?! If you met to give it a 'thumb up', I did.


UPDATE I just figured out were to vote, and I did.

I am coming back to add to my previous comment on Sound Volume Normalization.

Additionally, to one comment in this tread, stating that Deezer techniciens are working on it, it is also what I was told by a service-representative. Well, because this is an issue that is at least 9 months old, I would say that "working on it" means, 'we are aware of the issue'!?

After using Deezer everyday for the past 16 days, it feels like there actually is a volume normalization treatment, because 95% of the music I have listened to is normalized. However there is a few songs that are very, very below the normalized level. They are so low, that I can bearly hear them when they play.

When this occur, I do not turn up the volume, because I know that when the next song will start to play, it will shock everyone because of how loud it will be. Instead I skip the song, and I am considering removing these songs from my playlists, if this problem is not rectified soon.

I think this 'glitch' in Deezer's normalization process, is most unfortunate for the musicians who's songs are not normalized. And I believe that they are the ones that could insist that their music be normilized, and actually have this issue rectified.

So, any updates on this? It has been 8 months since the feedback was passed to the devs and the it still hasn't been implemented.

"umjediqualquer" as you said it, it has been months... I am not sure but I think that "voting" maybe a way to show how many 'wants' this issue to be resolved. This is a guess.

So far this issue has received 93 votes - which is problably very insignificant when considering that Deezer has over 9 millions paid subscribers!

I am just now trying the trial version, and already looking for a solution to the volume issue...Will I suscribe giving this glitch?

Deezer, please! It can be done. Your competitors do it.

In the U.S. we pay a premium price for Deezer via Sonos, and the lack of volume normalisation is very un-premium!! It's an absolute artist Top Songs playlist killer.

It's very perplexing that Deezer is unable or unwilling to address such a basic and critical competitive disadvantage.

the good old foobar2000 can normalize tracks in two ways: the album gain and the (in-album) track gain, both important for optimal user experience. E.g. some tracks are intros/outros sounding much quieter than the loudest track on the album, and it should be preserved for album playback (now it's not on Deezer Mac and Android app as i can hear).

The "Equalise volume" option is available in the audio settings of the web player and new desktop app now, don't know about mobile apps though:

Desktop app screenshot in German:

I was playing with the equalize volume setting on the Deezer desktop app, and it seems to normalize A song, meaning that within a song the highs won't be so high and the lows won't be so low. This is nice and all (though I don't use it), but I think what is really missing from Deezer is normalizing between songs: a song's highs can't be much higher than the previous song's highs. Our ears really don't like that.
So it's not really about volume normalization in the conventional sense I think, it's more like volume standardization.

I convinced my 14 year old son to choose Deezer as a family membership in stead of Spotify, which he preferred. Now he told me that Deezer has no volume normalisation. I couldn't believe him, so here I am, seeing that this is a topic for many people and still not solved by Deezer... I will give it a few month, and when not implemented in the Android version we will be gone... to Spotify I'm afraid....
