Hello,
My goal is to have every cut come out at the same
average level.
you might want to try loudness normalization.
Some tools to do that in rivendell (touching only the Cut Gain value)
are evoked in the following threads:
I am importing spoken-word .mp3 files.
There is a wide variation in audio level.
I am using rdimport from the command line with
minimal option flags, I think that means I am getting
the default normalization.
My goal is to have every cut come out at the same
average level.
I am going into
Chris,
the audio you are dealing with is going to be challenging to deal with
on a straight normalisation basis.
Normalisation just sets the levels based on the electrical signal.
Loudness is determined by what that signal is composed of and what the
processing people call density.

Which adjustment control in the clip editing tool
should I use? And does it change the actual
volume of the cut while being edited?

Hello all!
Just a though:
We worry a lot about dynamics but we spend thousands on optimods (althought
I love them) to reduce and control the dynamics and keep louder onair.
I hope someday the loudness war ends and music survives.

There seems to be more than one definition of normalization. I
understand normalize to mean adjusting the peak level of an audio file
by multiplying all its samples by a single value chosen to make the
highest result match a desired level (in this case, -13dbFS).
This sort of normalization

OK.
There is one reason to up the levels. ONE !
That reason is noise.
All amplifiers have a noise floor.
Pick any audio amp. Disconnect and short out the input.
Turn the volume all The WAY UP !
What do you hear ? You hear the self-noise of the amp.

We worry about dynamics as appropriate for our situation.

Hi,
just a curiosity :-)
As many of you I have imported tons of songs in the library
normalizing everything at -13dBFS. I read somewhere that this number
comes from the conversion between analog (plus headroom) to digital.
Is that right?
I really trust in you, but don't you think you loose a lot
Nowadays I'd use RMS normalizing or even better R128.

Interesting..
@Fernando: so you normalize files before going into Rivendell and
disable rd.normaliz? Or you have found a way to combine R128
on-the-fly inside 'rdimport'?
@Cowboy: well I was born in the digital era and I am not very
confident with analog/electrical measures. I am learning

Amen to that.

I reply only to you...
When you say anything above -24 is pointless you mean normalizing
louder than -24?
So even with high dynamic music (like classical for example) you don't
feel the risk of music loss?
An other interesting thing is that - as I was saying music normalized

Alessio,
setting up the programme chain in a radio or tv or anything else is a
constant trade off between the highest electrical level the sound will
produce,

I just discovered that one client of mine nornmalizes everything to -13 dB
while another client normalizes to -18 dB.

Personally I don't normalize at all in Rivendell but use r128gain and
some scripts to get everything lined up at -23 LUFS coming into RD.
When I've been using RD's inbuilt normalization I usually stick to the
default of -13 dB.
Cheers,

Just an observation,
Although I've been using the default -13 dB normalization, I always adjust
the level based on the VU and my own ears.
I think Rivendell uses the peaks values to normalize and it is valid to
avoid distortion, but remember that nowaday's recordings have almost no
dinamic range
Yeah, the peak normalization in RD is completely fine for avoiding
clipping, but you really need a manual operator to keep an eye (well,
ear, technically) on loudness levels.
Mostly I'm using Rivendell in heavily unattended situations, hence
normalizing to loudness with a peak based clip

Same here, I do not normalise to a peak level. I amply or change the
gain of a track based on VU and ears, so everything coming out is a
reasonable consistent mix at segue time.
I use -16dBFS for 0VU (+4dBu) using a 1KHz sinewave. I don't live record
