  • How to Normalize and Increase the Volume on M4A files in Linux


    M4A is a weird format, so you have to be creative here is a quick copy of what I did. Basically you need to convert to .wav to make use of them and thenI converted the resulting .wav into an mp3 (nice small file size and basically universally playable): ======= sudo apt-get install mpg321 mp3gain faad normalize lame faad "Voice 002 (copy).m4a" faad "Voice 002 (copy).m4a"........

I have several Asus products and find they're all of fairly poor quality. First of all their motherboards have given me the most issues of any brand, they te........

And another thing to remember is that only will appearances/styles/themes not apply to N........
