Audio Compressor

Compress audio to make sound volumes more even

What is Audio Compressor?

The 'Audio Compressor' is a Chrome extension designed to modify and equalize audio levels across various web pages by applying dynamic range compression. It's flexible, offering presets for different levels of compression and customizable settings for specific sites or pages. However, due to cross-origin browser security, it cannot modify audio or video coming from a different host. It operates using the Web Audio API and inserts a DynamicsCompressorNode for effective audio compression.

Summary

Analyze keywords

Audio Compressor is an addon that uses dynamic range compression to make sound volumes more even.

There are presets for different levels of compression. You can customize the default settings or the settings for a specific site or page.

There are some sites it doesn't work with, cross-origin browser security blocks scripts from modifying audio/video from a different host. As far as I know there's no way around this.

This works by using the Web Audio API to get the audio context for a page, and inserting a DynamicsCompressorNode.

Got it because I listen to a lot of old lectures, but it doesn't work with any of the non-YouTube sites these are hosted on. Useful on normal TV streaming services, but eh, I really need it for these lectures.

It works well on most sites, but unfortunatly some sites like Bandcamp for example do not work when this is enabled. So i have to subtract a few stars from the review rating.
