Because if you have another sound source (music, atmos, foley etc) it will push the output above 0db and thus peak, and is therefore considered bad practise.
yes, but what if you need to have the peak between -3 and -4 and rms between -18 and -23.... the problem is sometimes when adjusting one it affects the other and vice versa and they keep bouncing back and forth and it is like the ranges for those 2 parameters cant be achieved!
Does the rms normalizing function also peak limit? Otherwise how does the quieter sound go up so much without the loud "clack" sounds going up as much?
I prefer analyzing a small part of the audio file by using the "Amplitude statistic" instead. Then you get a good view of peaks and rms values for the selection. If it is human voice, it will have a crest factor (distance between rms and peaks) of around 25dB. After some listening you will know what part to select for analysis. Then if you want to take care of loud clips without having problems with clipping I recommend using the hard limiter processor, which is a very good fast peak suppressor. In that way you get no overload. The Aplitude statistic tool should preferably be set to 125ms window and with 0dBFSrms = a fully saturated square wave. If you really want to match two volumes, you also must consider A-weighting the two files before changing the volumes. (BTW I am only using Adobe Audition 3.01 but I can live with that)
After 20 hours of frustration I stumble blindly into this vid. I am very grateful. problem solved. liked and subscribed
Glad it helped.
thank you for not making this a super long video like the others! Just what i needed to get my ebook on audible!
Thank you!! I’m new to audition and was struggling getting these online with each for my audiobook! It worked perfectly!
Most welcome Chuck. Thanks for your encouragement.
Thanks for this tutorial, helped really much! Also definitely a like just for the purring voice at the beginning when you said "Hello". :)
I like the way you present, without all the personal storytelling many "tutors" on youtube say. I'll try option #2, and get back to you! Thank U!
Thanks. Appreciate that feedback.

A very clear and simple explanation. Well done!
+StopAskingForMyRealName Really happy to hear it helped you. Thanks.
That's a real shame. I'm yet to upgrade but was really hoping they would fix this as Apple's Soundtrack Pro has had this feature for years.

This was super helpful. Thank you tons.
thank you! No problem on cs6.
CS6 regrettably does not seem to have the RMS normalization feature either.
Great to hear. Thank you.
thanks. Is rms the energy of volume?
when putting rms in range it knocks the peak out of range and then when putting peak in range it knocks rms out!
Great tutorial. Im sure Ill be back soon.

Thank you dude in 2022
Thanks. Very helpful.
thanks Mr. G
Very helpful - thank you
Very nice! :)
Very useful. Thank you! :D
Thank you
Brilliant!
Shawn and Sarah?
thank you!
Why not normalize to zero?
No thank you! Glad it helped.
