Joe uner the tools menu under the volume submenu you will find two more menus, the match volume option and the maximise volume option. Under the match volume option if you select the entire file you can tab through and find the rms levels for the left and right channels of that file which will show hyou the average volume level. Under the maximize option you will find the highest peak in the file which will be expressed in db along with the actual time where that is found. Then you can go to that portion of the file to seewhat is causing that peak.

Subject: an interesting signal level problem


Hello, Everybody,

I am running Goldwave version 5.8, along with Windows XP Professional.

I edit live recordings all the time and adjust volume with no problem, till now. The file I'm currently working with is edited, all cue points in place. I try to adjust for max. level but the signal is perhaps 20 dB lower than it should be.

I have either removed or lowered the applause volume. There's one song in which the bass was way too heavy, so I brought that back. I tried resetting for max. level, with no improvement.

I cannot find anything on this hour-long wavefile which is amiss, to me at least.

For grins I boosted the level to about 20 dB more than the so-called maximus, and the signal is clean, telling me that everything should be fine.

Do you have any ideas about what I'm doing wrong?

I thank you in advance for any help you might have.

Joe Giovanelli
