After a lot of experimenting over many years, I am at
a loss for how I can
achieve the following (without lots of "painful experimentation"):
* normalize the RMS volume of a group of samples
in general, "normalization" tends to refer to operations on the actual
sample values, not an average computed number like RMS.
* max value of the loudest peak in the group
doesn't exceed xxx db
if it doesn't do that, its not really normalization.
* no limiting/clipping/compression
normalization would never involved any of these 3 operations. if it
did, it would be called limiting or clipping or compression.
are you asking about how to do this as a user (i.e. "what tools are
available to let me do this?") or as a programmer/developer/tinkerer
(i.e "how would you go about doing this?")
