I've never used normalization because I'm careful about signal levels when I print them. Well, I guess that's why. BTW, I think Paul intends to implement a non-destructive realtime normalization solution into Ardour stable. The best sense I can make of Normalizing is I might want to apply it to all songs after they are mastered. Then again I probably won't do that either because mastering is the process of achieving appropriate levels amongst groups of songs. It never hurts to experiment so I might. > > Not sure what you mean by "in the > > 'peak' sense." > > Somebody else noted, I think it was Jan, that there > is 'rms'-normalization > also. In my mind that sounds more destructive. Is "rms" another method for calculating peaks? What does the acronym stand for? I see RMS in SWH SC4. Adjusting it across the full spectrum in the compressor seems to produce a very subtle audible difference, if any difference. ron > /Robert > > > > > ron > > > > --- Robert Jonsson <robert.jonsson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > > > wrote: > > > On Monday 12 April 2004 23.45, R Parker wrote: > > > > Hi Jan, > > > > > > > > I did some testing with normalization > yesterday > > > > > > and > > > > > > > it's not what I need.
