normalize
Adjusts audio peak levels to a target dB value for consistent volume, with options to remove DC offset and balance stereo channels independently.
Instructions
Normalize the selected audio to a target peak level.
WARNING: This boosts OR reduces audio to hit the target. If audio peaks at -30 dB and you normalize to -1 dB, it will BOOST by 29 dB — potentially blowing out the audio. ALWAYS check current audio levels first (use project_get_info) before normalizing.
Guidelines — choose your target based on what comes next:
-3 dB (default): Safe general-purpose level with headroom for further processing
-6 dB: Conservative, good for unknown or problematic audio
-1 dB: ONLY as a final ceiling on already-mastered audio (never on raw audio)
-12 dB or lower: For very quiet audio that needs gentle boosting
Args: peak_level_db: Target peak level in dB (-60 to 0). Default: -3.0 remove_dc: Remove DC offset before normalizing. Default: True stereo_independent: Normalize L/R channels separately (fixes unbalanced recordings). Default: False
