Many plug-ins and programs offer the ability to increase the loudness of a sound piece.
Loudness maximizing is a smart compression algorithm that increases the sonic energy found in a sound piece by reducing the difference between lower and higher level parts of a the signal without altering the shape of its waveform.
It makes everything seem louder but without the dynamic range sometimes needed. Good for dance music or mainstream commercial sounds, bad for classical or solo pieces. Must have for radio and TV.
Better than classical compression that changes the shape of the waveforms rather abruptly on most (cheap) compressors.
