Normalize
In cases where a sound file has been recorded with too little amplitude, the Normalize plug-in ensures that the inherent dynamics of the performance remain unchanged while the overall volume level of the passage is raised.
In addition to the standard AudioSuite parameters, the Max Peak At controls let you specify how close to maximum level (the clipping threshold) the peak level of your selection or file is boosted. You can enter this information in one of three ways:
|
|
Enter a numeric decibel value below the clipping threshold.
|
|
|
|
Enter a percentage of the threshold.
|
|
|
|
Adjust the on-screen slider.
|
Editing any of these controls automatically calculates the equivalent value in the others.
To configure the Normalize parameters:
| 1. | |
Type the amount of boost you want applied during the Normalize
process.
|
| 2. | |
Set a specific decibel amount below maximum by double-clicking and
typing that value in the Max Peak at: (dB) text box.
|
| 3. | |
Set the amount of normalization as a percentage of maximum by
typing the percentage you want in the Max Peak at: (%) text box.
|
| 4. | |
(Option) Manually set the amount of normalization by doing one of the
following:
|
|
| |
Click and adjust the Max Peak slider.
|
|
| |
Press and hold the Ctrl key (Windows) or the Command key
(Macintosh) before you drag the slider to fine-adjust.
