Soundforge 'Normalize'

[glynb]

I have used Soundforge in the past, but have gone on to Multitrack recording currently using a Fostex vf160.

My question is the Soundforge Normalize function - would this be an easy way of 'mastering' my final mixes from the multitracker? What i want to achieve is a home produced 'album' over the coming months, but I want all the songs to have similar volume levels to each other so they all sound like they belong. Will exporting to Soundforge and using Normalise achieve this - or am I wasting my time?

Between Normalizing and Limiting, you should be able be able to get pretty steady levels between songs. But that certainly shouldn't be confused with mastering.

What is the difference in the various compression types ?
Average RMS power vs Peak level ?
Should I scan levels first ?

Can you tell I'm dB challenged ? lol
