I am importing spoken-word .mp3 files.
There is a wide variation in audio level. I am using rdimport from the command line with minimal option flags, I think that means I am getting the default normalization. My goal is to have every cut come out at the same average level. I am going into each cart and editing the start and end points of the cut. Some of them show a small waveform and I bump up the "cut gain". I don't know the difference between the "cut gain" and "Amplitude" controls. I have not been using "Amplitude" My real reason for thinking about this now is that I'm starting to pencil-in an audio path for our new station and I wanted to know if I'm going to need post-Rivendell compression processing, either something on the computer or an external processor. Now that I have about 600 carts loaded I'm starting to feel the weight of getting it right so I don't have to go back and adjust every one over and over as I figure out what I've been doing wrong. Maybe it's time to do it right. Learning new stuff every day.
