Mary: You will have to select the softer portions of the file and normalize them individually. Hopefully, there are just a hand full of these softer sections. Alternatively, you could try your hand at dynamic compression, but this might not be the result you want, since the louder portions will sound quite a bit different then the softer ones. Rob Meredith >>> maryemerson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 06/27/06 12:41AM >>> Hi listers, I have a file that was recorded with two microphones; studio recorder says the file is normalized; the recorder's internal mikes are softer than the external mike I used; how can I selectively adjust the softer volume and bring it up so that the overall file volume is relatively equal through out? If I used the general volume, it would bring up the volume of the entire file and I don't want to do that.
