I'm not a fascist. I'm a priest. Fascists dress up in black and tell people what to do.
Question to you people who make your own mixtapes. When recording from a PC to cassette I have problems with inconsistent loudness, I often just record straight from a youtube video, or an mp3 and sound levels vary a lot between files.

Are there programs that I can load a bunch of music files into, like mp3 that can automatically adjust the sound levels so I get a consistent level across songs?

 Replaygain?

It's built in to foobar2000.

I use loudgain on Linux.

Maybe normalise them using Audacity?

Normalizing, that's the term! I have heard it before but it wouldn't fall out of my brain.

I'll look up those programs, see what I go with.

ROYAL RAINBOW!





 I got into tapes recently and I've been combing my local record and thrift stores. Sometimes I bring home a tape and it's got terrible distortion or flutter and wow - is there anything I can do to fix these tapes? If not, is there any use for them, or do I just have some fun plastic trash?

 I'm looking to record a mix tape for my S.O. as like a romantic nostalgic but also kinda in joke thing. I just need a casette recorder that has line in right? Any good recommendations for a tape recorder that does this?

If you care at all about listening on the cassette, you want a stereo recorder. If it's just for the gaffe, grab whatever they have at the thrift store.
