Amplitude / Normalize
Amplitude / Normalize > Normalize
This function modifies the sample’s overall amplitude. The data is
altered so that the maximum amplitude occurring in a specified range
is set to 100% (or any other value between 1-400%). Samplitude 11
Producer attempts to detect the maximum and relate it to the
selected percentage, and then all other values are weighted with the
new factor.
The "Normalize" function is designed to fully modulate or
overmodulate samples. this can be useful for processing done before
conversion from a higher sample resolution to a lower resolution.
Since the dynamic range of the low resolution is smaller, it still can be
fully utilized by applying the "Normalize" function.
When you are working with sounds from a single instrument, you
should set the factor to 100%.
If, however, your audio material has background percussion, then
you will be able to overmodulate the sample up to 120-200%. This
will only cut off the new percussion peaks. The same method allows
you to alter the sound of natural instruments by overmodulating them
(clipping).
As preparation for further physical processing, e.g. filters, reverb,
dynamic compression, etc., a level reduction of 50-70% is
suggested. This should avoid clipping during post processing.
