The loudness of each song may vary from one to the next, but we can now get it sorted with our new volume normalization!

This feature will be turned on by default and some users may think that it's now too low, but feel free to turn it off by following the procedures below:

Library tab > settings > turn on/off the volume normalisation toggle.

 

Make sure your phone and app are updated! More info here.

also, your feedback is highly appreciated :)

Has the algorithm been changed in recent months? In the past I found it caused more variability in volume rather than less. I’ll test again though.

Or, from another angle, what algorithm is this using? Is it straight amplitude-normalisation?

No changes reported @teqteq. But it might that it's a bit different on mobile. And it's loudness-normalisation, as I referred to you previously :wink:

Thank you for your support.

I’d actually like to disable volume normalization, at least sometimes.  I’ve seen the slider in the audio settings in the Android app a few days ago, but now it’s gone again.  Will the feature remain optional once it’s rolled out globally?

Hello @Holger Weiss Thank you for contacting us. It should still be available - could you please double-check? And yes, you can disable it anytime :wink:

Rudi, what does the feature do, technically?

I’d like to understand how does it affect EQ and compression of tracks.

 

Thanks :)

Hey @Andre Osokin 

Thanks for reaching out and for your patience.

Our support article here cover the basics. If you'd like a more detailed explanation, let me know :wink:

Hi @Rudi 

So basically it only affects the volume, without adding extra compression. Right?

Because your EQ settings sound like multi-band compressing instead of simple EQing
