Which macOS volume balancing software is recommended? The sound played under any app can always be the same, so there is no need to adjust the volume frequently.

Please recommend it. Maybe the name of the software type I described is wrong. In the end, I hope that no matter which app I use, the played sound will always be basically the same, so I don't have to adjust it as frequently as I am now. Thank you.

Anonymous10278 May 9, 2025@ Poster Because the whole system has to analyze the loudness of all sounds, the amount is too large. Listening software can do it. For example, applemusic has analyzed the resources uploaded by the author in advance, which can and limits the maximum loudness uploaded, so turning on the volume balance can quickly get the attenuation and gain of the target value. Other softwares will also analyze local music resources. Most people who don't listen to albums will set a loudness threshold for all, and those who listen to albums will give priority to the album loudness first. When going to the web page to watch videos or any software to play data, it is a huge consumption for a system to analyze the sound IO on the spot.
