question about normalize-audio

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



After a lot of experimenting over many years, I am at a loss for how I can achieve the following (without lots of "painful experimentation"):

* normalize the RMS volume of a group of samples
* max value of the loudest peak in the group doesn't exceed  xxx db
* no limiting/clipping/compression


Imagine a (non-existent) command line such as:

$ normalize-audio --rms --max-peak=xxxdb --as-lossless-as-possible


note that with normalize-audio 0.7.7:

$ normalize-audio --peak --no-adjust
$ normalize-audio  --no-adjust

result in exactly the same output:

  level        peak         gain                                                                                                               
-44.9045dBFS -26.6550dBFS 32.9045dB  china-22in_zildjian-1.wav                                                                                 
-36.0490dBFS -18.3966dBFS 24.0490dB  china-22in_zildjian-2.wav                                                                                 
-33.1798dBFS -14.9723dBFS 21.1798dB  china-22in_zildjian-3.wav                                                                                 
-25.6555dBFS -5.5081dBFS  13.6555dB  china-22in_zildjian-4.wav                                                                                 
-18.4676dBFS -1.4021dBFS  6.4676dB   china-22in_zildjian-5.wav                                                                                 
-17.8024dBFS -0.0540dBFS  5.8024dB   china-22in_zildjian-6.wav

In this case, the file with a peak of -0.054db is adjusted by +5.8db in both cases, resulting in clipping/limiting etc.
