Topic: can i do anything else with this wav? - n00b post production inside

[jeromejello]

here is a screen shot from the wav file from tonights DP gig.  all i have done is normalize it @ -0.2dB, which seems to have addressed the 2 brief clips (although there weren't any artifacts, i just wanted to lower the peaks to below 0dB).

my question, is there anything else i can do to this wave form to boost the overall volume... it appears that most of the wav is around -3.0 dB thru -9.0 dB... but when i adjust the volume (gain) i will get redonkulous clipping.  it also appears that my right mic is a little hotter then the left    which will also complicate any adjustments...

honestly, it doesnt really matter to me, it is listenable, i just would like a way to not crank the volume on playback.  just want to experiment with things... any pointers?

tia!

bah... i dont think this pic is going to stay on, stupid photoworks... anyways... i am using sf 7.0

Sounds like you had your levels set quite well - nice work!  If you want to raise the volume of the entire recording, you'll need to apply compression and gain - the compression will reduce the dynamic range, i.e. shrink the difference between the loudest parts and the softest parts, and the gain obviously will raise the volume on the entire WAV.

That should be just about perfect.  I'd leave it alone.
