VLevel is a dynamic compressor that amplifies the quiet parts of music. VLevel project uses a look-ahead buffer to provide gradual changes, and never causes clipping.

A command line filter and a LADSPA plugin are provided, and XMMS is supported.

Installation:

To build it, type "make". To install it, login as root (type "su") and type "make install".

You can change where it is installed by editing Makefile before doing the above.

I test VLevel on a Linux system, but it should build on any similar system. It should compile on Windows, but it won't be very useful until I write a Ruby script with a nice cross-platform GUI and SOX integration.

What's New in This Release:
VLevel 0.5 contains a redesigned LADSPA plugin that now has both mono and stereo modes. As before, the command line version can use any number of channels. The documentation is also updated. I've done more extensive testing, and I can't find anything wrong. (Feedback, good or bad, is appreciated.
