I created the FFmpeg Audio Normalizer because I often get asked how I handle volume normalization in my tracks. This tool adjusts the audio volume of a given file using FFmpeg and saves the processed version in the same directory, adding the suffix "-Normalized" to the filename.
melcom's FFmpeg Audio Normalizer is a frontend for the FFmpeg executable (ffmpeg.exe / ffmpeg-master-latest-win64-gpl.zip for Windows). To use it, FFmpeg must be installed on your system. You can download it here: https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/releases/tag/latest

New in Version 2.2.1:
• Updated Build Date → The build date has been set to 2025-08-29.
• Improved AAC Output Encoding → AAC encoding now uses a Constant Bit Rate (CBR) of 512k. Previously, no explicit bitrate was set, relying on FFmpeg’s defaults.
• Improved OGG Vorbis Output Encoding → OGG Vorbis now uses a target bitrate of 500k (managed mode). This replaces the earlier quality-scale setting (-qscale:a 10), offering more precise control over file size and output quality.
---
Note on Encoding Changes: These new parameters aim to deliver high-quality results with clearer bitrate control. If you prefer the previous defaults or the qscale:a 10 setting for AAC or OGG, Version 2.2.0 remains available. The earlier settings were not incorrect or of poor quality — just less explicit.
