About the Change Volume
Turn up quiet recordings or turn down loud ones by a precise amount in decibels. Every 6 dB roughly doubles or halves the signal level.
Normalize sets the gain so the loudest peak reaches a target such as −1 dBFS, which makes a file as loud as possible without distortion. Prevent clipping caps the boost automatically.
How to use the Change Volume
- Add an audio file. Its current peak level is shown.
- Move the gain slider, use the ±3 and ±6 dB buttons, or click Normalize.
- Switch between ORIGINAL and EDITED while playing to compare.
- Choose a format and click Export.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make an MP3 louder without distortion?
Click Normalize to −1 dBFS. This raises the volume until the loudest peak is just below the maximum, so nothing clips.
What does dBFS mean?
Decibels relative to full scale. 0 dBFS is the loudest level digital audio can store; anything above it is clipped.
