Normalize audio regions in the Tracks area
You can normalize the gain of selected regions in the Tracks area, without opening the
regions in the Audio Track Editor. The Normalize Region Gain menu command is non-
destructive: the original file isn’t altered, so you can return it to its original state.

1. In the Logic Pro Tracks area, select one or more audio regions. You can select all
regions in a track by clicking the track header.
2. Choose Functions > Normalize Region Gain.
3. In the Normalize Gain dialog, do the following:
1. In the Affect pop-up menu, choose whether individual regions, individual tracks, or
the entire selection are normalized.
2. In the Algorithm pop-up menu, choose the normalization algorithm to use.
3. Use the Target Level value slider to set the intended level of normalization (in
decibels).
