If I have to I will, but I've got several clips scattered throughout the over 
50 clips so it would be grinding work.

  Why not try using the gain control on the clips you want to be louder? Then 
after you get them to the level you want you can use a little compression. 

   

  May the peace of God that passes all understanding guard your heart and mind 
in Christ Jesus

  God Bless You!

  Brian,

   

  Thanks, I did think that I needed to keep the clips separate, but wanted to 
be sure. The normalize isn't getting some of these clips even close to each 
other in overall listening volume, so I'm wondering if I should use some other 
tools like removing dc offset -- what does that do, actually?

   

  I also posted a question on another list about needing to trim all my clips 
so that there were no remnants of other clips being used in the overall 
processing of levels?

   

  Dave

    Wen you select a track and run normalize, it should normalize each of the 
clips separately.

     

    Once you use bounce to clips, all the clips become one large clip, and so 
the normalize command would only boost that one clip with enough gain so that 
its loudest area wouldn't clip.

     

    Therefore, I think that you should load each of the files on to one track, 
leave them as individual clips, and run normalize on the complete track. There 
really isn't a need for you to use bounce to clips at all in this scenario.

    Hello Audio Experts,

     

    Using Sonar 7 and CT. I've got about 50 clips that I've collected and  
first used fade -in and fade-out processing, that I want to eventually have all 
played in a continuous sequence on a single track. However the overall volume 
levels are differnt, since these all come from different CDs and different 
masterings. I'd like them all to be fairly close to each other in volume.

     

    Is there a difference in these three scenarios:

     

    1. 50 clips, each on 50 tracks, and compressing or normalizing them after 
selecting all the tracks?

     

    - or - 

    2.  50 clips, all end-to-end on a single track, normalizing or compressing 
them after selecting the entire track?

     

    - or - 

     

    3. Bounce all clips to a single track as a single clip, and then 
normalizing or compressing the track?

     

    What's the difference or benefits to each? Keep in mind that I want to 
retain the fade-in and fade-out.

     

    Dave
