[QUOTE="Bob M., post: 1812592, member: 200112"] Hi, I asked a friend to make me a copy of an old vinyl record album from the 60s so I can add it to my iTunes library. He borrowed some equipment to do this and about half the tracks on the record came out very soft, much lower in volume than the other half. He somehow digitized them and sent them to me as email attachments. They are all MP3 format. Some of the soft ones are so soft, low in volume, as to make them almost unlistenable so I have to correct this. The hotter tracks are just fine, perfect. I was wondering if there is any facility within iTunes to raise the level of some of the tracks that are lower to match the ones that are hotter before (or during) my transfer to my iTunes library? I seem to recall on my old MacBook computer, on a much earlier version of iTunes, that there was a graphic EQ that could boost frequencies but also boost the overall level of a track, but within limits (like +/- 6db). I don't seem to have this capability in the iTunes (version 12.6.1.25) I'm using now on my iMac. If I do, I can't find it. Is there a program or app I can use that will do this for me. As I only have about half a record album to correct, I'd hope to find something I can download for free as I may never do this again. I don't need anything too fancy. Thanks for your help and suggestions, Bob M. [/QUOTE]
