How to set RMS on recorded chapters

Let’s see you’re still using the slightly older mastering, so you will still be using RMS Normalize (later Audacity versions have a built-in one called Loudness Normalization).

This is the hum remover I’m using.

It shows up in Audacity as “Hum Remover.” I posted the settings.

Noise Reduction is in two passes. Drag-select some typical noise. Effect > Noise Reduction > Profile.
Then select the whole chapter and Effect> Noise Reduction at the settings I posted > OK.


Analyze > ACX Check. Either one works. The longer one has more information, but you only need those three readings.

Which Audacity and which Mac?
