ffmpeg-normalize

Audio Normalization Script for Python/ffmpeg. The script RMS-normalizes media files (video, audio) to -26 dB RMS. It outputs PCM WAV files named as normalized-<input>.wav. It can also do peak normalization.

Requirements

• Python 2.7 or 3
• Recent version of ffmpeg (use your distribution's package manager or download a static build from http://ffmpeg.org/download.html if you don't want to compile) in your $PATH

Usage

Very simple, just install with pip and run it:

pip install ffmpeg-normalize
ffmpeg-normalize -i <input-file> -v

Or run it directly from source:

python -m ffmpeg_normalize -i <input-file> -v

Options

Type ffmpeg-normalize -h for usage:

-f, --force                Force overwriting existing files
-l  LEVEL, --level LEVEL   level to normalize to (default: -26 dB)
-p PREFIX, --prefix PREFIX Normalized file prefix (default: "normalized")
-m, --max                  Normalize to the maximum (peak) volume instead of RMS
-v, --verbose              Enable verbose output
-n, --dry-run              Show what would be done, do not convert
