How to Increase Volume of Recorded WAV Files

Recorded audio is capable of manipulation in profound and dramatic ways. One of the simpler methods of manipulating audio involves a process called normalization. To increase the volume of a recorded .wav file all you need is an audio-editing program and a little knowledge about how the process of normalization works. Normalizing music uniformly raises the volume on the entire song.
