19 – 488 The Audio Montage
The following options are available in the Meta Normalizer dialog:
Option Description
Equalize Clip Volume Selecting this will process all clips in the Montage according to
the highest possible level or loudness found amongst the clips, so
that they will all play back at equal levels.
Equalize peak level Select this option if you want to use peak levels as a basis for de-
termining what is considered “equal level” when executing Equal-
ize Clip Volume.
Equalize loudness
(RMS)
Select this option if you want to use RMS (Root Mean Square)
levels as a basis for determining what is considered “equal level”
when executing Equalize Clip Volume. RMS normally produces
more natural results than using Peak levels, since this method is
better at detecting the perceived “loudness” of a sound.
Global When this is activated, the RMS value is calculated over the
whole clip. That is, the overall loudness of entire clips will be used
as a basis for calculating the loudness.
Resolution
(0 – 10 seconds)
This option is only relevant if “Equalize Loudness (RMS)” has been
selected and “Global” is deactivated. It is used to set the size of the
audio sections that are analysed when calculating the loudness.
The loudest section found will be used. The smaller this value, the
more sensitive the method will be to peaks in the material.
Normalize Mix
(Master Section Input)
(-24 to 0 dB)
If this is selected, the entire Montage mix will be normalized to a
preset level at the Master Section input. The maximum level that
can be used is 0 dB. Since there is no risk of clipping in the 32 bit
internal audio path, you can usually turn off this feature.
Normalize Master Section
Output
(-24 to 0 dB)
If this is selected, the entire mix will be normalized to a preset level
at the Master Section output. The maximum level that can be used
is 0 dB. This function is useful before you mix down or create a CD.
Note that this function affects the output of the Master Section,
which is “outside” the actual Montage. Therefore, the effect of this
function is not saved when you save the Montage.
Exclude effects If this is selected, effects will not be taken into account when pro-
cessing with the Meta Normalizer.
Only selected clips If this is selected, only selected clips will be processed with the
Meta Normalizer.
