Comments on: Levelator - podcast audio level enhancer http://ausmaced.org/2006/12/05/levelator-podcast-audio-level-enhancer/ Online hub for Australian educators using Apple Macintosh computers, iPods & iPhones Tue, 18 Nov 2008 15:18:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.6 by: Reg Whitely http://ausmaced.org/2006/12/05/levelator-podcast-audio-level-enhancer/#comment-4 Tue, 10 Oct 2006 02:07:02 +0000 http://ausmaced.org/2006/12/05/levelator-podcast-audio-level-enhancer/#comment-4 Thanks for this Paul. I've tried it and it works well. Just remember that it will only convert WAV and AIFF files. I spent some anxious moments trying to convert some mp3 files before reading the FAQs on the website! Judy Kealy, my teaching "partner in crime", had emailed me some students oral reports, all saved as mp3s, so I could publish them as mini-podcasts for the kids during the holidays - the things we do! So into Quicktime Pro they went, out popped AIFFs, then into Levelator which did a masterful job of raising and levelling the voices, into iMovieHD where I increased the volume again and added some simple titles and graphics, exported as iPod format to iWeb, then straight up to .Mac where we are hosting their work. Have a look and listen at http://web.mac.com/whitelyr/. Follow the link to Beachlands Forum. The last three posted (Brianna, Chris, Dylan) have been "Levelated"; the first, Jessica (our very special, special needs student) hasn't. I may go back to that one later and see what difference it makes. Thanks for this Paul. I’ve tried it and it works well. Just remember that it will only convert WAV and AIFF files.
