comment Normalising volume across thousands of files
I am recording the exact same way, so the original recordings match reasonably well. I just want to boost the volume on them and given my equipment, doing that in post seems to be my best option. If I normalise the volume across the whole uncut file, though, it does it with reference to the peaks and it doesn't get me where I want. So I use the volume matching function in Sb on all the cut files and I get it to match each of them to a reference file, but that's what's giving me problems. I'll give the demo version of Audition a go and hopefully it will give me a better result. Thanks again!

Thanks for the answer. That looks very similar to the process I'm running in Soundbooth. Do you have any evidence that it would be better than the same feature in Soundbooth? Or if not, can I reasonably expect that for the type of task I'm carrying out (normalising volume of short voice recordings) that I can get good results from an automated volume matching process? Or will it always be necessary to do some manual adjustment after?

Thanks for all your comments. I'll check out Reaper and see what effect it has on my workflow.

OK, thanks. Do you have a recommendation on that front? And would it be likely to do a better job of normalising volume across all the other files, to the extent that they wouldn't need to be manually checked as I'm describing above?

True, I could. As it's a fairly short job though (we're not talking about many files at this point), I just haven't bothered in the past. I've also been put off by the fact that the larger the file is, the slower each process is to run, but it's a good point.
