Preparing samples for a piano library

[maxiteruloja]

I’m preparing piano samples for a library, and I have these questions:
To manage them properly, I need to make sure they all play at maximum volume, as loud as possible. I have samples with low volume and samples with high volume, all at the same level. The problem is that the bass sounds a bit different when I use WaveLab’s level normalizer, and I’m not sure how to use the maximizer for what I want to achieve. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Feature Request: Loudness Meta Normalizer - Solutions for short files (samples)

I’m trying to get Loudness Meta Normalizer to work well for shorter files - Samples, Video-Game Assets, GUI SFX, etc in batch processing. I haven’t had much success. One trick I use when I’m doing this work manually, is I’ll loop a sample and playback to get a loudness reading Could such a strategy be implemented here, where the user enters # of passes over # of time of each file to get a proper loudness reading? So far for me, it appears short one shot samples are the exact same volume as t…

If it’s just a change in level and there’s no compression, there can’t be any change in sound. Apart from the fact that, as you probably know, the auditory perception of a sound changes with the listening level (see Fletcher–Munson curves).
