RE: Normalizing

RE: Normalizing

Hi Jimmy,

Actually, evening out the volume is trickier than it seems, and I'm not sure an "auto-normalizer" would really work.  I find the subjective volume of two sounds changes as the actual "stage" volume of the gear changes.  The amplification used also contributes to the change.  I've often spent hours on a new set of patches, getting them "perfectly balanced," then taken them to practice or a gig, and found that three or four of them stick out like sore thumbs, while another three or four get completely lost in the mix.

Oh, and BTW:  Here's a (belated) welcome to the world of list moderating, from another of the same clan!  :^)

Regards,

-BW
