checking the peak of an entire project in Reaper?
Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is a way to quickly check the peak volume of the master track in Reaper? For instance, if the master peaks at -4 dB, what's the quickest way for me to see that? Right now, the only way I know to see the peak is to render the project, then check the peak of the rendered output file manually.
My ultimate goal here is to normalize the render (maximize its volume so that the loudest part is just shy of clipping). So, if the render peaks at -4 dB, I either have to amplify the render by 4 dB and re-save the file, or increase the master volume by 4 and re-render. Both of which are tedious. Instead, I want to have a quick way of knowing the peak before I render. Even if Reaper has to make a temporary render and delete it once the peak is found, I would be fine so long as it worked.
I've heard about, but never used, the peak watcher. But I was told by a friend that it requires you to play the project in realtime, so it wouldn't be the most efficient solution to quickly know the peak level of the project.
Am I making sense? And if so, is there a solution you can offer?
Thanks!
