Hello, Home Recording Folks...
I've got a really complex, 12-minute soundtrack project with a lot of tracks, all needing to be adjusted for headroom. Though not clipping, they were all recorded on the hot side and need to be tamed for mastering later. My research shows clip gain adjustment to be the best approach and I've got this "Normalize" plugin in Pro Tools that will allow me to set a True Peak value, select a clip and render it with a single click to the -4db I've settled on. Is this a safe, legit way of doing it? The alternative is going into each clip's gain adjustments and dragging the slider to the level I want, and there are easily a couple hundred of them in this mix. The normalize approach would be a lot easier, if it's legal.
Thanks.
