The Wrong Way

There are SEVERAL guides online telling you how to normalize audio to provide a great listening experience by using FFmpeg's "loudnorm" filter. Most walk you through a simple process called "track normalization." You set a goal loudness, and adjust every piece of audio up or down to match that loudness. This is evil and immoral and I'll tell you why:

Loudnorm changes the way things sound!

Loudnorm crushes dynamics!

Why?

I wanted a faster, more efficient way to make music.

My solution? Stick a Launchpad in a guitar

Sadly, no electric guitars I found had the room for a launchpad.

My solution (pt 2)? Build my own guitar with correct dimensions.

My advice? DON'T DO IT. It was really hard and time consuming.

Unless you NEED to do this to get specific dimensions & realize some crazy idea of your own, just buy a nice used guitar. You'll still get a lot of instrument for your money, and SAVE TIME.
