| To make
a track sound louder when it's already peaking close to digital full
scale, use a digital limiter such as the excellent Waves L1 plug-in or Audition's hard limiting. In most cases you can increase the overall level by 6dB or more before your ears notice that the peaks have been processed. A nice feature of the L1 is that you can effectively limit and normalize in one operation. It's always good practice to normalize the loudest track on an album to peak at around -0.5dB and then balance the others to that track. Normalizing or other level-matching changes should always be the final procedure, as all EQ, dynamics and enhancement involves some degree of level change. |
