Topic: prefered dB level for Normalizing

[silentmark]

Interesting, thanks !

Sounds like I need to update my Audacity workflow...

In the early versions - Normalize stopped at -3db...so I always used Amplify (which defaulted to 0)

Sounds like they've revised the normalize function - and with a safe preset...

Note to self...

This is almost merits an alert somewhere - I think a lot of us who upload to the LMA probably still go to 0 (former conventional wisdom)

i set my peak at -0.5db for the reasons already stated.  however, i prefer using the hard limiter over the normalization function.
