One little word with two meanings. Normalizing, as far as Sound Forge or other digital audio editors are concerned, simply means to adjust the peak volume of a selection to a known value. Generally the recommended maximum is -0.5 dB (I think that's 94.49% or something). Doing this is a no-brainer. Normalizing a set of tunes to be burned to CD, however, means something
slightly different. Here it implies that you're adjusting the average
volume of those songs so that they will all sound about equal. Doing this
is an art (whereas we can consider mastering
a fine art). Want to Normalize Your Audio Free?Audiograbber, a free download for Windows machines, is known for getting tracks from CDs but can also be used to normalize files in batches (44.1 KHz stereo WAV files only, but that's all you really care about anyway). Download it here.
