Hi Keith, Sound Forge has some presets for RMS normalisation, and I've always stuck with those guidelines. You're right, 0DB is definitely too loud when you're using RMS. Try -16DB for music, and -10DB for speech and see if that works for you. Jonathan Mosen Mosen Consulting Blindness technology eBooks, tutorials and training http://Mosen.org
