    How to add compression to streaming audio?


    Can anyone think of a way for me to add audio compression (or "leveling") to what I am hearing from a YouTube video that I am streaming? (It's live broadcast.) Windows 10 Pro 20H2 (19042.985)

    :)

    Compressing audio in video files. help.

    fmpeg will do that.

    you'll end up running something like this from the command line:
    ffmpeg -i "videosource.avi" -i "audiosource.wav" -vcodec copy -acodec copy "out.mp4" -map xx -map yy

    you can leave the audio source as uncompressed and use ffmpeg to encode the audio:
    ffmpeg -i "videosource.avi" -i "audiosource.wav" -vcodec copy -strict -2 -acodec aac "out.mp4" -map xx -map yy

    xx/yy = the stream mappings for your video and audio streams. you can get the stream numbers mappings by running ffmpeg without an output file:
    ffmpeg -i "videosource.avi" -i "audiosource.wav"

    in the muxing steps, replace xx with the stream number for the video, and yy with the stream number for the audio file.

    I'm sure there's a GUI for this somewhere, and someone else will point that out but I tend to do almost everything with a CLI so here's my 2c.
