    Hey guys, I've done some samples to our band's songs and we are going to play live on saturday. So I need to adjust volume of samples to the same volume.
    Any simple advice how to do it? Thanks

    Why the same volume (loudness? peak? Average RMS? LUFS?)? It's all relative. You can't mix towards a meter.

    I just mean that when we play them live, then sound engineer wouldn't have to adjust volume for every song. For example I did in song 1 sample track louder than in song 2.


    I'll check it tomorrow, but I just need to know a way how to do this correction in DAW

    Ah, ok. Loudness normalization.
    Then line them all up (I guess you are talking backing tracks or similar) and check their loudness with a LUFS meter. Adjust so that they have consistent loudness. Pull down the ones that are too loud.
