MessageKevin, I agree that the compressor is likely going to help you the most. Just apply the Sonotus multiband compressor to the output bus. Select from the various presets and listen until you find one you like. I suggest setting a loop that contains both a soft and loud passage, and keep repeating it while you change the presets.

I thought I had some automation that I could remove. but I can't find any in the event list. There's no way I can find the exact place where the voice volume decreases and create the kind of automation event that would directly compensate for that. I tried Normalizing without luck. Wouldn't know how to use a compressor for this. Advice? Kevin -----Original Message----- From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of D!J!X!

The volume is not consistent through the track. I have different volume levels through the track and I need the volume of this vocal to stay the same. Moving the gain is not the way to go.

I did it by choosing one track and moving the slices I needed from the other to that track. Then I bounced the finished track to a new track. I notice that there are some volume irregularities where the volume pulls back. I don't see any automation that I can strip out. I tried normalizing the comp track and didn't notice any change. What can I do in Sonar, I don't own Sound Forge, to make the volume of this track uniform throughout? Kevin
