Maximizing The Volume Levels Of Data Recorded To The Tracks (Normalize) - Boss BR-1200CD Owner's Manual

If a time value is used to specify the Start point and you
then switch the specification method to measures or
markers, a plus (+) character may be displayed to warn that
the indicated position is not the same as the actual position.
If you are specifying these items as measure locations, you
can eliminate this discrepancy by using the TIME/VALUE
dial in measures screen to specify the location.

press [F3] (GO).
The blank space will be inserted, and when the message
"Complete!" appears, it indicates that this operation has

Maximizing the volume levels of data
recorded to the tracks (Normalize)
The Normalize function raises the volume of prerecorded
track data to the highest level possible.
What Normalize does:
The maximum values for wave data handled in
digital recording are predetermined. Since
exceeding these levels even slightly causes the
sound to become distorted, recording levels are
normally set so that the sound does not distort.
However, this lowers the overall volume of the
recorded data.

But there is a process that digitally calculates the
recorded data in order to extend the waveforms to
the maximum values for the wave data being
treated. This process is called "normalization."
After normalization, the waveform looks like this:

This allows you to ensure you are getting full
volume within the allowable range of values for the
data you are working with.
Furthermore, even if any other tracks have been
recorded at relatively low volume levels, you can
use this function to increase volume later on.
