Youtube annoying volume spikes

[Olivetti17]

Since doing a lot of song learning via youtube etc,i'm finding it both damaging and annoying especially via headphones.with volume dips and spikes between tracks and adverts.Are there any gadgets out there that could rectify this? I'm not sure whether a compressor would do the job.Its just as bad playing videos on my tv too,so i doubt if that could be rectified.

Thanks for any ideas folks

Add Adblock plus to your browser.

Ads are usually set to blast out of the speakers at a much higher volume than standard content in order to grab your attention. It works, that’s why they do it 🙂

I used to have the same problem, but now I use the EarSoft Level plugin, it is a compressor/limiter for your browser.

I use Adblock, I don’t see any adverts, anywhere.

Instead of watching online, do what I do and download the video. That lets me scroll back and forth without any faffing about with buffering or intrusive ads. Once I've learnt the song, I convert it to MP3 and pop it on my mini studio. You can also use something like Audacity to make usable, abeit not perfect, backing tracks.
