I would call that "Normalize" but there is already an effect under this name which always normalize at the same level (sadly). I believe gaining to an absolute level should be called normalization, and for a relative level Amplify sounds good to me. >From this point of view, the repeat menu is ok and we should just make the normalization level adjustable (it should be quite easy to do). -- Thomas de Grivel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
