Normalize

Normalize allows you to raise or lower the level of audio that was recorded at an inappropriate input level. You can use the maximum peak level or the loudness of the audio as a normalization reference.

Peak Normalization

Allows you to normalize your audio based on the maximum peak level. Maximum Peak Level in dBFS sets a maximum peak level for the audio, between -50 dB and 0 dB. The current maximum level of the selected audio is subtracted from this maximum level, and the gain is raised or lowered by the resulting amount.

Loudness Normalization

Allows you to normalize your audio based on the integrated loudness, according to the recommendation R 128 of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). Integrated Loudness in LUFS sets a loudness value for the audio, between -34 LUFS and 0 LUFS.

Note
  • For audio shorter than 0.4 s, no loudness normalization is applied, in order to avoid unexpectedly high gain changes.

  • Normalizing a highly dynamic signal based on the integrated loudness may cause peaks over 0 dB. To avoid this, we recommend that you add the Brickwall Limiter plug-in after the Normalize process.
