15-bit quality. Even normalizing the material to 100% will not change this
aspect.
Editing mode: In virtual projects, a virtual normalization function is available.
Sample data remain unchanged — the object volume is adapted in such a way
that the loudest passage in the object equals 0 dB (corresponding to 100%).
This virtual normalization is non-destructive and extremely fast!
Selecting several objects: If you have selected several objects, then you can
decide whether you want to normalize them individually or as a whole.
Quick access: This section allows you to set the parameters for quick access.
Instead of having to open the dialog each time you want to normalize, simply
press “N”.
Keys: Shift + N
Amplitude / Normalize > Loudness adaption
This function raises the sound volume of all objects to the maximum level
without the clipping the material. Unlike the master normalization function,
each object is normalized separately. It serves the purpose of reconciling
finished songs (each as one object) in volume. This makes the volume of the
songs uniform.
Titles with full volume control can still sound different, since a crucial factor in
the perception of volume is also the relationship between the soft and the loud
parts of a piece of music. The average loudness (RMS) of the song therefore
has to be identified in addition to the absolute level (which is the loudest part of
the song) and the object level has to be adjusted accordingly.
Therefore, it may happen that songs with high peak values but a lower level of
loudness are normalized to a value above 0dB (full volume). In order to avoid
clipping, the limiter (see MultiMax) is activated automatically.
Tip: Volume fluctuations within a song can be removed with the “Leveler”
presets in MultiMAX.
Amplitude/Normalize > Fade in/out
This function allows sample ranges to be faded in or out. The amplitude is
varied according to time characteristic from the beginning start value to the
range's final end value. When the function is activated, a window appears to
specify the operations's parameters.
