Audio clipping mp3 normalizer how to#
It’s certainly possible to implement a compressor in NAudio, although there isn’t a built-in one, so I’ll cover how to make one in a future post. Compression makes the loudest bits quieter, which means that afterwards you will be able to boost the whole file without clipping. But what if your files do have the occasional loud bit? In that case, what you want is a compressor or limiter effect. Now, as I said at the beginning, normalization is only good for files that are consistently quiet throughout.

That’s most easily done by letting NAudio convert the samples into floating point in the range +/- 1.0, and the AudioFileReader class will do that automatically for us. Normalization won’t do anything.īut having acknowledged that it doesn’t help in every situation, how can we implement it for files it is suitable for? Well we start by examining every sample value and picking out the loudest. That’s great if the entire file is quiet, but if there’s just one sample in there that already has the maximum value, then you’re stuck. So what is normalizing an audio file? It’s simply amplifying every sample in the file by the largest amount possible without causing any clipping. They simply assume it is an automatic way to make a quiet audio file louder.

And I’m usually quite reluctant to answer, because often the person asking doesn’t understand the limitations of normalizing. Every few months someone asks how you can “normalize” an audio file with NAudio.
