  • Volume change (dB)
  • Volume normalization (dB)

Volume change (%)

XMedia Recode also allows you to manually adjust the volume of audio files in percentages.
For example, you can decrease the volume by 50% or increase it by 200%, depending on the desired result.
This percentage adjustment is ideal for quickly changing the volume without having to specify an exact dB value.

Volume change in Decibels (dB)

Adjusting volume in decibels provides more precise control over audio levels.
A change of around 3 dB can already make a noticeable difference.

Volume normalization (dB)

XMedia Recode offers the ability to normalize the volume of audio and video files.
The volume can be automatically analyzed and adjusted to a desired target value in decibels (dB).

This feature is particularly useful for compensating for different volume levels in multiple files and creating a consistent sound experience.

Normalization can be activated directly when converting files, without the need for additional software.

  • Normalize (dB): Sets the average target volume in dB.
  • Track Volume: Shows the determined average volume.
  • Track gain: Shows by how many dB the volume must be changed.
