I have been using Dominic Mazzoni’s amplify effect included in Audacity 1.3.5 , and it works perfectly … for what it does, it judges which of the waves ampiltude is greatest, therefore choosing it as a base for the maximum amplitude without clipping(I am deducing).
So I have a whole voice track I want to amplify. I used amplify effect and it augmented x db . But then I wanted more amplitude. Of course the maximum amplitude wave in the whole track is already toped before clipping, so running again the effect on the whole track selected would make no change(unless it clipped, which I decided not to, since the beginning). So I strarted selecting the separated voice sequences manually, and applying for each isle, the amplify effect.
My question would be, is there an already existing effect that automatizes this or would I have to write my own script?
I don’t know of any plug-ins that do exactly what you are asking, but you may be able to achieve a similar effect with “Chris’s dynamic compressor” http://pdf23ds.net/software/dynamic-compressor/
This plug-in has helped me so much in Audacity to normalize the whole narration. Especially with the newest version. Highly recommended if your recordings are not loud enough.
Messy choice of words, because “Normalize” is an Audacity tool with very roughly similar properties. Chris is a dynamic loudness processor, similar to the ones at radio stations. The elves once generated Chris’s settings to almost exactly simulate the processing at KPCC radio in Los Angeles.
Chris’s Processor is “musical” in that he designed it to sound graceful and pleasant. Most tools are arithmetic exercises.
Thank you for the snapshot. However, to be used in batch processing (many files), using standalone executable would be easier, right? (Or maybe I can write Nyquist to batch processing?)
What concerns might there be? I think the restriction is an abbreviation:
