Normalising audio - is audio below the 'target' affected?
Posted: Mon Aug 03, 2009 5:16 am
I fully understand what normalising audio means (adjusting amplitude to ensure peak amplitude matches a 'target') but what happens when there are three audio sources and they have been balanced (ie audio from the video clip plus background music plus voice track).
What do I do?
What I am getting at is that I may have adjusted the overall volume from the video clip (either above or below 100) and I may have used 'rubber banded' adjustments to the background music to change the volume up and down between added commentary (voice) so that the music volume is reduced during commentary and increased when no commentary.Is VS smart enough to keep these balances the same when using 'normalise'.
Or are only the 'peaks' reduced if exceeding some target (whatever that may be) and if the peaks are below this target no changes have been made?
Lastly is there an easy method or normalising the entire 'movie' without having to add the audio filter to every single video and clip 'clip'?
