This is a bit off-topic, but related somewhat. I've often wondered if there's an easy way to compress the dynamic range of sound files. What I want to do is make a copy of the OT soundtracks for listening to in the car, on the plane, etc. so that I'm not constantly twiddling with the volume to hear the soft bits over the ambient noise while not blasting out my ears or getting distortion on the louder parts. Does anybody know of an easy way to do this? Or does someone have a better solution?
