Hello,
I live in a small apartment with thin walls, and I like to watch movies on my computer late at night. The issue is that with the mixing of most movies, you have to have it at a certain audio level to hear the dialogue, then when a gunfight breaks out everything is suddenly 5x the volume. I was curious as to whether there was a plug-in or feature in quicktime or a similar program that allows you to sort of compress the audio-track output for a clip so that the highs and lows are more balanced, or to clip the extreme highs... Sort of a 'night-mode' setting. I am aware that this will make it sound terrible, but if it saves me some grief from the neighbors, I'll be more than happy to live with that.
