#THE LEVELATOR PORTABLE#
Good idea to use portable installs for testing. I don't know why Levelator would suddenly start embedding EOF markers when it worked fine for years and still comes in total length in Audacity, WavePad, etc. Are you dragging and dropping the files onto Reaper, or using "Insert|Media File"? I don't know that there would be any difference, but there might be.Īs I said earlier, "This happens whether I drag it from Windows Explorer, REAPER's Media Explorer or use the Insert>Media file option," so it can't be that.

The only other explanation would be that some error is happening behind the scenes and causing it to blow off the import.

I can't think why other apps can read the whole file and REAPER cuts it off after the first half or so.ĭo a portable install of the earlier version Reaper, so you don't mess anything up in your primary copy.Īs far as what causes it to cut off prematurely, that sounds like there may be an EOF (end of file) marker embedded in the file created by Levelator, or something similar that causes Reaper to believe that it has read the whole thing in.

I use it for levelling the speakers' volume in recorded interviews, focus groups, etc. This happens whether I drag it from Windows Explorer, REAPER's Media Explorer or use the Insert>Media file option. If I check the length of the file with Media Info or Windows Explorer, it’s accurate and if I load the file in another audio editor like WavePad or Audacity, it loads in its entirety. I’ve used Levelator successfully for years with REAPER, but the last few times I’ve tried to import a file it comes into REAPER at about half its actual length.

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.” It's much more than those tools, and it's much simpler to use. It's not a compressor, normalizer or limiter although it contains all three. “Levelator is a software that adjusts the audio levels within your podcast or other audio file for variations from one speaker to the next, for example. For those who aren’t familiar with Levelator, here’s the description from CNET: Levelator Indicator: The Levelator will give us levels in which we can: Buy or sell. I’ve recently started having problems with importing an output.wav file from Levelator. Showing how I normalise and level audio in my videos and podcasts.A comparison shootout of The Levelator vs Auphonic.And yes, ironically I goofed the levelin.
