Larry: 1. You can't use normalize to remove distortion. Once its in there, its way too late. 2. You could try normalizing all of the music to a particular level, usually 0dB. This makes the music as loud as possible without clipping. If it still doesn't sound the same from track to track, the dynamics vary quite a bit from track to track, and this is the problem. There are ways to attack this, but they are a bit more involved. Rob Meredith >>> larjo1@xxxxxxxxxxx 06/28/06 12:50AM >>> Two questions please: 1. Can I use the "normalize" command to reduce distortion on a recording? If so, what setting should I use? 2. If I have a set of music tracks and I want them all to be at the same volume level, is there a way (other than just by listening) to "know" the volume level of each track? Thanks, Larry
