Re: Effect amplify - denegrate sound at some amt?

My thanks to you all for all of the great info. I have learned a lot but also gained some understanding about what I learned.

I was concered that an amplified effect increase of 5 to 8 db would denegrate the sound. I am the guy with the question about low recorded volume levels via the turntable.

effects - normalize vs amplify

Is normalize also the amplify effect but only to -3.0b? If so, why is it set to -3.0db

What is DC offset?

Effect amplify - denegrate sound at some amt?

For two track stereo wave files recorded at 24bit 44.1hz, when uning the effect amplify

Does the sound quality begin to denegrate prior to 0.0

Is there an amount of decible increase without affecting sound quality?

Should peak amplitude be less than 0.0db?
