People,

For Normalization (select Audio Clip -> Process -> Audio -> Normalize), is there a setting available to restrict the overall increase in gain?

For example . . . if one wants to limit the normalization process to -3dB, in order to accomodate future processing without clipping.

Thanks,

Oh, please please please please please please please please don't use Normalization! :(

There are so many other ways do destroy a perfectly good audioclip. Why not use one of those? ;)
 
moskus,

What the **** are you talkin' about?

I was under the impression that the only drawback was an increased noise floor (which every other form of gain increase also causes), right?

Oh no. Here we go again.
:rolleyes:
The quickie answer: Why would yo want to do a permanent distructive gain change that gets you half the way to where you're going.
Why not just fix the gain at the end with as few processing steps a possible?

I'm not really here.

Bingo! ;)

Normalizing should be forbidden by law! :mad:
 
You Know . . .

I'll probably just fix the gain at the end . . . with as few processing steps as possible.

. . .and without using normalization, right?
 
If they renamed it 'Abnormalization' maybe we wouldn't automatically flock to it as a button that should be pushed befor knowing when or why it should be pushed.
Must be something about that name. 'It's just got to be
'The Thing to do'...:eek: :eek:

I've never seen anything to say it's any worse than any of the other gain steps we use like trim', track volume, master fader, what ever. Just that it might be un-needed, and that it's permanent.
I know I've ended up with some LOW track volumes that had to get brought up somewhere along the way.
Nobody died.
