Re: [Avid-L2] A Normalize Question for Anyone Out There

 

I am a big fan of the track effects.  I usually put a compressor/limiter on my narration and dialogue tracks, and it allows me to adjust overall levels of clips to within a few db, and it smooths them out to a uniform level.  Use sparingly to avoid pumping effect and excessive noise.  A rule of thumb I learned long ago was to tend more towards a top end limiter, and never push more gain change than 6 or 7 db.  It really evens out dialogue and narration and often makes it more legible.

Use of Reverb for ring out, and to liven up a close recorded voice over track also works way better as a track effect and is much easier than using audiosuite plugins which have to be rendered.

Lesson learned.  Thanks for the info.  I was looking for a shortcut to tame wildly uneven levels, and have already made major progress on a standard mix.  I'm glad Zelin is less evident on the site these days.  He would have taken my head off (and I know him personally).

Like a simple cough, or someone closing a door, or a tiny click. Normalize is not a mixing tool.

 It's worth analyzing your clip to see if there is any point where there's a peak that is significantly higher than the majority of the rest of the clip
