Guys,

I have Soundforge XP (4.5f build), Acid Pro 1.0, and CD
Architect (lastest version).

I've noticed that the songs (wav file format) that I have
have sligthly different volume levels when playing them on
my computer. Some songs' volume level may be high and some
other songs' volume level are lower. I keep the volume
knob on my amplifier at a constant level but why is it that
the wav files I play keep having different volume levels?

Using the above softwares I have, how do I correct this
problem. I want my wav files to have a near constant/equal
volume level. How do I go about doing this?

First of all consider the source that your recording from,
cd-rom, cd-player, or cassette tape, phono.This makes a big
difference, What are you recording with? soundforge, or
other software.As I'm sure you know, there is a difference
between sound levels of cd's recorded 3 to 5 years ago
compared to cd's recorded lately.Take a look at
Audiograbber, and exactaudiocopy, you can adjust the levels
before you record, rip to mp3, etc.
