The Levelatorr

If you do any audio editing of files from interviews or teleclasses, you know that many times one speaker is much louder than the others. Now there’s a free software tool that adjusts the levels within your file for variations from one speaker to the next. 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 Levelatorr is 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.  Instead, it’s software that corrects the uneven audio levels within your podcasts or other spoken-word audio programs for variations: from one speaker to the next.  Just drag-and-drop any uncompressed WAV or AIFF file onto The Levelatorr’s application window, and a few moments later you’ll find a new version which just sounds better.

You should do any noise reduction and equalization before using The Levelatorr. The better the input to The Levelatorr, the better the output. The Levelatorr is optimized for speech. Avoid using it on files that contain substantial amounts of music. You’ll want to use it to process the individual tracks, bits and pieces of your program independently and before your final assembly and mixdown.

Simply drag and drop any WAV or AIFF file onto The Levelatorr’s application window, and in a few moments you’ll find a new version of your file, which sounds much better than the original. This software runs on Windows, Linux, and Macs. While the software is free to download, the developers do request a donation for usage.
