The Levelator for Mac

Developer's Description

The Levelator is software that runs on Windows, OS X (universal binary) or Linux that adjusts the audio levels within your podcast or other audio file for variations from one speaker to the next, for example. It's not a compressor, normalizer or limiter although it contains all three. It's much more than those tools, and it's much simpler to use. The UI is dirt-simple: Drag-and-drop any WAV or AIFF file onto The Levelator's application window, and a few moments later you'll find a new version which just sounds better.

Full Specifications

What's new in version 2.1.1

  • If an .mp4 file was submited it was reported as an .mp3 file. (Neither are accepted by The Levelator.)
  • Attempts to Levelate compressed files (ie, other than WAV, AIFF, etc.) are now detected and reported in a more friendly manner.
  • If the source file can't be opened (eg, due to a permissions problem) a better error message is displayed.
  • "New Version" alerts are now displayed even for minor updates if specified on our servers.
  • When installing a new version, the program did not always display the "news" file on first startup (OS X only).
  • There were a variety of problems under OS X:
    • Version 2.0.3: Audio files could not be processed on PowerPC Macs under OS X 10.4.x. (The visible error message began ""Level reports: dyld:lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found")
    • Version 2.0.3: A permissions error was reported on a variety of OS X versions and configurations.
    • Version 2.1.0: Failed on PowerPC Macs (all versions of OS X).
  • When installing a new version, the program did not always display the "news" file on first startup (OS X only).
