Gaddster Posts: 1	Posted - Sun May 11, 2003 4:17 am  I am using cool edit pro 2.0. I am ripping audio from a avi file in to .wav for editing with Cooledit but no matter what i do the normalization of the audio is wrong, i will explain. The action scenes are loud but the talking is so quiet i have to turn the volume up on my tv but when the action starts i have to turn volume down. Can anyone tell me how to normalize the whole stream so the volume is nearly the same all the way through?

Normalisation merely moves the whole signal up to a reference 'norm' that you set. You need to check out Effects>Amplitude>Dynamics Processing. Read the help file. Do a forum search - look at the 'Tips and Tricks' section - there's loads of stuff on the forum about this. One word of warning, though. You do need to normalise your signal to 0dB before you play with any of the presets, because they are designed to work with signals that peak at 0dB, and that is what normalisation will achieve. _________________
