You can also normalize the tracks individually or collectively as one song (extremely useful for live recordings). Roxio's Toast does many of the same things. For even more control of levels within a song, I import the songs into Digital Performer (my DAW MIDI/Audio sequencer/recorder of choice), and use volume automation to increase the volume on the soft parts and pull back the volume on the loudest parts. Though this defeats part of the 'purist' approach of accurately capturing the full dynamic range of the event (my preference), it does make the final CD more 'lowest common denominator'-friendly for listening environments such as iPods, automobile CD players on the freeway, computer speakers, and boom boxes (my clients' preference). With most studio mixes, I'll find the loudest peaks and transients within a song and reduce them by a few decibels in Digital Performer. These peaks are usually less than a hundredth of a second in length, so the audible effect of reducing them is much less noticeable than using a limiter or compressor. I frequently wind up being able to raise the overall level of the song between 5 and 7 db without any extra unwanted coloration. I hope this helps... the more dynamic the recording, the more delicate the surgery.

Save yourself the time and trouble by getting a high quality limiter/ compressor and learning how not to overuse/abuse it. Unless you can perform a normalize function with the added feature of an adjustable headroom, it's not a wise choice in many circumstances. Simple normalization will do nothing toward evening out the perceived volume of disparate tracks. IF the normalization algorithm takes RMS values into account, you _might_ get some satisfaction regarding volume balancing. --- John McDaniel --- From healyzh at aracnet.com Mon Feb 12 22:23:04 2007 From: healyzh at aracnet.com (Zane H.

As a result, the "Normalization" option in Bias Peak looks to be just what I need. While I want to try to balance the loudness of the tracks, I also want to minimize the changes. My thanks to everyone who has replied, obviously one of the chief problems here is simply me not knowing the correct words to describe what I am trying to do. Zane -- | Zane H.

Condenser mikes in that price range tend to sound lots worse than dynamic mikes for the same money.

If your going to be creating voice only podcasts you might be better served with one of the dynamic mics commonly used for radio broadcasting. Try out an EV RE20 or a Sennheiser MD421 along with any condensers you wind up demoing before making your final selection. Also mics, particularly dynamics remain stable for many years thus a 421 or RE20 from Ebay could be as good a choice as brand new. Just avoid mics that have been used on drum kits.

If I'm not careful, I may spend as much time in Final Cut Studio as I do in Digital Performer! I still probably spend the most time overall in Finale, due to my crazy love of composing, along with doing charts each week for the band at our church's Jazz Service. On another virtual note, I've had Native Instrument's Komplete 2 for awhile, and I've been thinking about upgrading to version 4. Does anyone out there have experience with their KORE interface/platform? If so, any thoughts/synopsis thus far?
