For a long time, I've wanted everyone to try out Richard Lovejoy's volume-adjustment kernel. I think it's the best thing since sliced bread.

But for many people, the barrier to trying it is the fact that they can't turn it on and off from the player's front panel. Well, with some help from several sources, I've now got a set of files that will allow you to do it:

http://www.oro.net/~tfabris/empeg/Picker_and_Voladj_for_Dummies.zip

This includes step-by step instructions for installing all of the files. It also integrates nicely with displayserver, if you want to use both. There's even a short discussion about the nature of dynamic compression. Finally, you can have the option of adjusting the parameters to voladj to tailor it to your liking.

Note that I didn't write any of the software included in the file, I just organized the files, wrote the instructions, and hacked up the shell scripts. The credit for the software goes to Frank Van Gestel, Richard Lovejoy, and Rex K. Perkins. Thanks, guys!

Enjoy!
