making all clips equal db level? help please
making all clips equal db level? help please
got a set this week where im playing live at a fashion show, lots of quick cuts to different scenes.
i have spent alot of time setting up the template live session, but severeal of the the clips are at different volumes.
how do i best normalize the clips without losing my loop points etc.
is it just a matter of opening the external audio editor and normalizing ?
thanks

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that subsequent editing of ANY kind(ie. even if the resulting file is of identical length), results in the file being re-scanned by Live. It would certainly be a bitch if you went and normalized all your files with an external editor, only to discover all your loop points are gone. Hopefully I'm talking crap though, because running an RMS average or normalize batch on all your files would be a shitload quicker than manually adjusting the gain on each clip within Live.

I would have said use the little UTILITY effect in the suite of Ableton plugins that come with Live.
Then save as an .als file myself.
I avoid normalising like the plague and lay of the compression as much as is humanly possible these days.
