Is "rms" another method for calculating peaks? What
does the acronym stand for? I see RMS in SWH SC4.
Adjusting it across the full spectrum in the
compressor seems to produce a very subtle audible
difference, if any difference.

Hi Robert,
What I mean by destructive is the outfile replaces
the
infile. With Ardour undo can revert but the
original
file is destroyed--shut down Ardour and the undo
history is lost.
True, though, during editing in Ardour normalization
does probably not make
sense, Ardour stores everything as float anyway
making the point moot... I
think? From a user point of view, normalization is useful
during editing and mixing if headroom is needed. It is
just a gain change, right? I've never used
normalization because I'm careful about signal levels
when I print them. Well, I guess that's why.
BTW, I think Paul intends to implement a
non-destructive realtime normalization solution into
Ardour stable.
The best sense I can make of Normalizing is I might
want to apply it to all songs after they are mastered.
Then again I probably won't do that either because
mastering is the process of achieving appropriate
levels amongst groups of songs. It never hurts to
experiment so I might.
Not sure what
you mean by "in the
'peak' sense."
Somebody else noted, I think it was Jan, that there
is 'rms'-normalization
also. In my mind that sounds more destructive. /Robert
