Sometimes its quite, other times its very loud when the person raises their voice. Im wanting to know if theres a way that I can easily 'normalize' the volume as I record, rather than having to set the volume very low and then having the volume normalized across the one file and then maximized. Any suggestions? Cheap / free would be super, and ideally something with a small memory / cpu footprint. Adobe Audition is probably too resource-intensive. Many thanks in advance Chill.

The compressor, set up correctly, will "quieten" the audio when it is loud, to be consistent with the "quiet" audio. I have only used hardware-based devices like this, or post-recording tools... so I can't help you with an inline compressor software.	somebody (208)
515777	2007-01-14 08:14:00	Maybe THATS my problem, as 'normalizing' is something usually done across multiple audio files to maintain a consistent volume level :D Thanks all.. any more suggestions would be great. I have Audacity, I know the family have used it (NFI why but one of the members PAID for a CD off the 'net that had "Great office software, award winning photo editing suite, powerful audio..." and it came with OpenOffice, TheGimp, Audacity... :D	Chilling_Silence (9)
