Normalizing Samples
The Normalize function detects the highest peak level of the sample, and adjusts the gain to reach a predefined level.
Procedure
- On the toolbar, in the Normalize Level field, specify the level that you want to normalize the sample to.
- Click Normalize Sample on the toolbar, or right-click the sample and select Normalize Sample from the Sample submenu of the context menu.
Result
The Gain parameter of the sample is adjusted to conform with the predefined Normalize level. The amplitude of the waveform in the Sample editor changes accordingly.
Note
If you adjust the gain of the sample, the amplitude of the waveform in the Sample editor changes. This might be confounded with an adjustment to the vertical zoom of the waveform. To get a better visual feedback, set the vertical zoom to the minimum before you adjust the gain.
To play back the sample at its original level, set the Gain parameter to 0.0 dB.
