About The Levelator

The Levelator is an audio utility preserved on the Internet Archive. The archive item lists binaries and source code, credited to Doug Kaye and others, with a publication date of 2005. It is described as software that adjusts audio levels within a podcast or other audio file, such as variations from one speaker to the next.

It runs on Windows, OS X as a universal binary, and Linux (Ubuntu). Use is based on drag-and-drop: you drop a WAV or AIFF file onto the application window and receive a new version with adjusted levels. The page provides downloads including Mac OS X disk images and Windows executables in several versions.

The page suits people working with spoken-word recordings who want a basic leveling step. Because this is an archived copy with no in-browser preview, files must be downloaded to a computer to use.
