Re: Compression and limiting of audio - freeradical - 07-30-2015
I don't use the built in speakers of the TV at all. I also don't have one of those fancy 17 channel surround sound receivers. I have a two channel stereo amp and a pair of speakers. No subwoofers. I also have a turntable hooked up to the amp...;-)

Free, the 2 channel is better for what you need..you can add a 2 channel multi band EQ and solve this issue..
this DBX box would do it..there are others out there too..intuitive to operate..low frequency to the left higher frequencies to the right
DBX 2 channel EQ

I know the problem you're talking about and read an in-depth article about it and it seems like there was no good answer. I remember iTunes having a check box that made every song the same volume.

some receivers have a function that does this, if you have a modern receiver, check it out.

In the past I have had "nightime" setting or something similar, that would do what you are looking for. it was either on my directv box, or in my AV preamp

Ah, that seems to work with my Asus Oplay media player. Next time I use my DVD player I'll look for something like that on it.

The later NAD cassette decks had a compressor. It's a button labeled "Car," so that you could make car tapes with limited dynamic range (to overcome road noise.)
Wonder if you couldn't just pick up one on eBay and see if the circuit would work in the tape monitor loop. I have a machine but am not able to confirm right now if in fact it would work this way. But If you can wait a few weeks I can let you know!
