Actually I'm normalizing all the sample files as I prepare them, although this isn't always as effective as one might hope. Sometimes you get a sort of outlier cycle with a very high value that limits the normalization of the overall signal.Another alternative I've thought of is coding in a compressor to pump things up near the end of the signal chain. Or I could just go Spinal Tap, turn it up to 11, and be sure to mind the Dubley.Phil On Jul 27, 2009, at 9:18 PM, Andrew C.

This should at least normalize your sample, which will give you some kind of uniform base point to start from when you're comparing one sample to another.On Mon, Jul 27, 2009 at 1:55 PM, Philip Galanter<list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > wrote:Thanks guys. Very helpful. I'm clear on compression effects, the high energy of oscillator waveforms, etc. Just wanted a reality check on theaudio server. cheers, Phil On Jul 27, 2009, at 12:19 PM, Josh Parmenter wrote:On Jul 27, 2009, at 10:13 AM, Tim Walters wrote:An oscillator is hitting full code on every cycle. It's a lot louder thanany normal recorded sound is going to be.Take a look at the waveform of most rock recordings these days...compressed to hell and normalized to 0. But yes, the BIG difference there is how we perceive steady state sin tones versus drums and distorted guitar.Josh ****************************************** /* Joshua D.
