melcom's FFmpeg Audio Normalizer v2.2.0 (GUI Edition)

I've created the FFmpeg Audio Normalizer because I often get inquiries about how I normalize the audio volume of my tracks. **This tool is a graphical user interface (GUI) frontend for the powerful command-line tool FFmpeg (ffmpeg.exe).** It is designed to normalize the audio volume of a given audio file using FFmpeg. The normalized file is saved in the same directory with the suffix '-Normalized'.

With version 2.2.0, the user interface you see, which was first introduced in version 2.0.1, has been given a brand-new skin, designed by yours truly. I've given it a look that's a little throwback to the classic Amiga days – a bit of retro fun, you might say 🙃. Under the hood, the program is built with Python. While I do have a background in C++, Python was the language of choice for this project. To be honest, I'm getting back into the swing of things with programming after some time away, so if you happen to spot any bugs or translation issues, please do reach out and let me know. The program is available in English, German, and Polish, and comes with detailed help documentation in all three languages. If you have any questions or run into any hiccups, feel free to contact me.

📣 Note: In addition to melcom's FFmpeg Audio Normalizer, you will need "FFmpeg" (ffmpeg.exe). You can download FFmpeg from here. Please refer to the help file for instructions on how to set the path to ffmpeg.exe in the program's options.

My Self Created Samples

Here you can find my self-created samples. All samples are available in .flac format. These samples can be used without any problems, for example in OpenMPT. However, if you want to use these samples in Schism Tracker, you will need to convert them to the .wav format.

To convert the samples, you will need FLAC (win32 or win64 Bundle). You can create a batch file to use the Flac.exe, or you can use Flac Frontend.

I can also provide you with my batch file. Converting hundreds of .flac files to .wav format or vice versa only takes a few seconds. Please write to me if you would like to have my batch file.


💾 The samples are in my Dropbox account:
/My .flac Samples/
  * Updated
There are currently over 200 .flac samples available. All files are in their original length. You can do whatever you want with the samples / instruments 🙂 But maybe you could give me credits 🤗 But it's not really necessary.

Have fun,
- melcom
