Is it me or does lowering my WAV's audio volume result in an
updated Windows XP Pro. SP3's Sound Recorder? Is this a bug in
this program or something else?

Also, does anyone know of a good free audio program that will do
batches to lower audio volume in a bunch of old WAV files? Doing
one by one is a pain in the butt/abdomen.

Thank you in advance.
I don;t know anything about SP3 soundrecorder.
I use Goldwave for recording and Audiograbber
for batch normalizing.
Is normalizing same as lowering audio volume? I am not familiar with
that one.

I just realized that Audiograbber won't do what you
want since it only grabs sound files from CD's.
I don't know if it would see *.wav or not.


It will.


A long time ago I used FakeCD to create fake cd drives.
There is probably a small program that will run on XP
that would do the same.

I suspect you could run them thru AudioGrabber after first changing the
Normalization value which I believe is 98% by default, e.g. change it to 60%
would result in an output file with a reduced volume level. AudioGrabber
allows drag-n-drop for multipule files so that's not an issue. What I'm
unsure of is will it process mp3 files or would you first have to convert
them back to wav as I've never needed to "go back" or if I thought I might
need/want to I kept the original wav also.

I think Audiograbber and Goldwave both expand to *.wav in RAM
for processing and then compress to mp3 for saving,
if stored as mp3.
