«Intelligent» Amplify needed
Hi,
I always perform the same tedious process oder and over when trying to amplify a poor voice recording:
I select the loud peaks, one by one and reduce amplification by ≈40%-60%, hundreds of times and then after all peaks are below a certain threshold, I amplify the whole sound.
That is not only very laborious but often noticeable when I don't enlarge to find the right spots.
What I am wondering is: There must be an intelligent function that amplifies a sound in a way that peaks are less amplified than soft parts. Maybe with a logarithmic function applied?
Is there such a thing in Amadeus? At all? Or is there a workaround?
Thanks a lot for any hints!
Gary

Yes, under Effects, Audio Units, try the dynamics processor. This will do exactly what you want.

Thanks! A good start. It was not easy to find the best combination of settings.Garth Humphreys wrote:Yes, under Effects, Audio Units, try the dynamics processor. This will do exactly what you want.
The problem is, it still affects the low volume parts and I also need to apply this many times (>20x), which I believe makes significant changes to those parts that don't need to change.
Please take a look at the pictures BEFORE and AFTER (20x of AUDynamicsProcessor):
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!

Experiment with the threshold setting - you want to have it where it will affect only the peaks of the waves. You should only have to apply it one time.Â
If you are dealing with original recordings which are exceptionally low volume, then that would make it more difficult.Â
