Normalizing groups of files
When you normalize a waveform, the loudest part of the waveform is set to a specified
amplitude, thereby raising or lowering all other parts of the same waveform by the same
amount. Group Waveform Normalize lets you normalize the volume of multiple open
waveforms by using a three-screen batch process. If the volume is raised as part of the
normalization process, Adobe Audition can apply limiting to prevent clipping.
If you're getting ready to master an audio CD, using Group Waveform Normalize is a great
way to make sure that all tracks on the CD have a consistent volume.
To normalize a group of files:
Choose Edit > Group Waveform Normalize.
