Product 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 Leveler's application window, and a few moments later you'll find a new version which just sounds better.

What's new in this version:

  • Now accepts filenames containing spaces.
  • Now processes very short audio files.
  • New desktop icon shows up better against blue screen backgrounds.
  • Killing the UI thread now terminates the entire application.
  • Added link to documentation of supported file formats.
  • The Levelator "phones home" at startup to The Conversations Network (a) to check for new versions (as in the past) and (b) to check for infrequent promotional messages.
  • The license agreement has been updated to include a description of the phone-home behavior.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.5 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.4 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5
  • Intel or PowerPC (Universal Binary)

The Levelator ReviewVery useful application - incredible for a free utility! - Version: 1.4.0.2502, 8/9/2008 08:50PM PST

This is one of those great utilities that does only one thing and does it exceedingly well. It takes your audio with varying levels and evens it out. This is particularly great for dialogue from multiple sources, which is rarely recorded perfectly.

The only thing that would make this better is an audio unit plugin version, so I could run it directly from within any of my audio editing applications.

The Levelator CommentaryGood - Version: 1.4.0.2502, 6/14/2008 01:07AM PST

I use it a lot, on speech or music or instrument track, it can enhance whatever you drag in.
Better is to test.

The Levelator Reviewseems to do what it says fairly well ... - Version: 1.1.0, 3/22/2007 10:28PM PST

based on some fairly basic tests. would be very useful for podcasts (its primary purpose, i think), or any audio production where there are different audio sources being combined, or multiple participants with different volume levels.
