When using RMS levels, normalizing to 0 dB means boosting the signal so that
it has the same apparent loudness as a 0 dB square wave, meaning incredibly
loud. If you were to do so, all of the dynamic range of the signal would be
squashed and all the peaks would either be clipped or seriously compressed
(see below). The lesson is, normalizing a peak to 0 dB is all right, but
normalizing RMS to anything above -6 dB is playing with fire.
PAN
GRAPHIC
The Graphic Pan dialog allows you to draw a pan envelope that will be applied
across the current data selection.You can create up to 16 envelope points.
Draw the envelope by pulling the small square boxes (drag points) up or down.
The envelope default setting locates the drag points at the center on each side
of the wave display. You can create a new drag point by left-clicking on any
point of the fade envelope. To delete a drag point, single-click on it with the
right mouse button, or double-click on it with the left mouse button. Once
you have finished with the envelope, press the OK button to apply the pan.
PROCESS MODE
Pan (preserve stereo separation)
Allows you to perform right and left channel panning effects without mixing
the channels together. This is used to simulate left/right positioning of stereo
recordings.
Pan (mix channels before panning)
Allows you to perform right and left channel panning effects by first mixing
the two channels and then changing the volume between channels.
OUTPUT GAIN
The gain applied to the signal after processing.
SHOW WAVE
Check this box to draw the current selection’s waveform on the envelope
graph.This is done automatically if the selection is small. For stereo files, you
also have the option of displaying the left channel, right channel, or a mix of
the two channels.
