I love ffmpeg, but yeah, some bits are a little ... obscure.

Right now, I am looking to normalize some audio without using ffmpeg-normalize, a popular Python package. Nothing against it on a personal level, I just ... want to know what is going on, and it's a lot of files and lines of code to do what is basically a two-pass process.

I have a growing interest in metadata and that's also a case which I do not find is often well-addressed.
