I used to Normalize my audience recordings in the past, however, it's been so long since I have that I've totally forgotten how to do it PROPERLY.
There are a lot of instructions floating around but I'm trying to find absolute, definitive and best accepted procedure for doing this. I've recorded a few shows (with permission) and my levels are a little low (probably around -4 to -5dB. There are a few areas where it peaks higher than the "average" recording level of the file so I don't mind if I have to dabble in MILD COMPRESSION/LIMITING if need be (some will swear not to do this) as the average level is a little lower than the existing peaks.
This said, can anybody point in me the right direction?
Thanks.
