If you see it again it's because something has changed so please set your preferences accordingly. Why does my waveform look like this and is it good? It is 2 pianos with sustain and a synth, all of course in different tracks. All those are pianos or synths. But why does it look like that? Of course there is no clipping what so ever but I am just curious.

Is it good? That's all in taste. Personally I would rather have all the dynamics in the whole track and if I was going to brickwall limit it would be the entire song. I think I get it Doudei, but you really lost me on that first paragraph, brain fry lol. Spivkurl : Wed 12th Jun : 8 years ago Since the waveforms went up, it's really easy to tell if someone isn't using their headroom properly.
PatriciaEdwards : Wed 12th Jun : 8 years ago Normalize? I'm guessing that "fattens" the wavform? How do you do that? JoeFunktastic : Wed 12th Jun : 8 years ago Also watch the loudness and the boom factor. Your music might get lost or buried alive in it. Mahloo13 : Wed 12th Jun : 8 years ago Actually the blips and blops are nothing but sine waves of different amplitudes over different periods of time. It just takes you file and turns it up to 0dB.
The loudness wars PatriciaEdwards : Fri 14th Jun : 8 years ago Got it, so Normalize makes all your tracks say on a cd the same volume. It really is cool to see all the prrreeettyyy waves lol. Mahloo13 : Fri 14th Jun : 8 years ago Mno! Normalizing does not make all your tracks the same volume A Limiter does that. Normalizing is not something I recommend! It isn't something I recommend either lol. Spivkurl : Fri 14th Jun : 8 years ago Okay maybe normalizing isn't for every mix. Indozizz : Fri 14th Jun : 8 years ago really hard time to get my sounds loud without any crackling in it, maybe because i have a shitty laptop soundcard?
Mahloo13 : Sat 22nd Jun : 8 years ago Ok so let's say you have a track that is already mixed and obviously that track has peaks and valleys, normalizing just scans for the highest peak and then turn the volume up so that highest peak reaches 0dB, it's the same thing as turning the fader of the track up to reach 0dB.
If your highest peak already reaches 0dB then normalizing does nothing. Usually the last processing tool is a limiter which acts as a safety so that you don't distort your converters or any other digital to analog converter any playback system has a converter The noise floor is raised by any processing tool that implies a boost even EQ's but assuming you have decent gear you shouldn't stress about it that much as it won't be audible.
Normalizing has no sonic effect on the track. Just for the record I've never seen any mix or mastering engineer use normalizing on anything. Let me know if you need more clarification better clarification or any other tips. Planetjazzbass : Sat 22nd Jun : 8 years ago When I was a kid a normalizer meant getting a haircut. J2age : Sun 23rd Jun : 8 years ago I try to make my waveforms look like weiner. Latest Free Software. The "spiked" shape of the original wave files show dynamics and peak information in the audio.
Rather than use a mulit-band compressor on this particular project, we felt it was cleaner to edit certain crashes - one by one. Not exactly a common method, but it was very effective. Both artist and producer loved the results. One unexpected benefit of lowering the crashes was that the vocal seemed to stand our more. This is due to the "teeter-totter principle" - when you lower the volume of one sonic aspect, a different aspect will be easier to hear.
