Adobe Audition has link check boxes for both Normalize and Amplify. [X] Amplify Lock L and R [X] Normalize L/R Equally Both default to checked. They consider, rightly in my opinion, that a simple change in volume is very different from a theatrical balance change. Normalize is the really tiny tool w...

Exactly that. However, the search for nirvana (the place, not the band) has given us several live performance microphones with "hot" output: -40 to -44 instead of the usual -60 (thousand to one). The tone test generator from Shure... http://store.shure.com/store/shure/en_US/pd/productID.10...

It's pretty easy to vet the effectiveness of a wind screen. Try the microphone with and without screen and smash the two sound tracks together.
