Method 3: The Permanent Fix via Audacity (When Metadata Fails)
You scanned, you tagged, but the volume is still inconsistent. Here is the diagnostic guide:
You don't need expensive software. Here are the gold-standard tools for the job:
for f in *.flac; do gain=$(sox "$f" -n stat -loudness 2>&1 | grep "Loudness" | awk 'print $2') echo "Track: $f, Loudness: $gain" # Compute correction relative to -23 LUFS (EBU R128) done
The audio signal is too "hot," hitting the digital ceiling and causing distortion.
