fourdogslsong Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Is there a way to analyze the gain of an audio region in logic to know the highest peak, or the integrated RMS value of a selected audio region? I don't want to change the gain, I just want to get the info and then decide whether or not I want to modify the gain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Just use the Multimeter. Solo the track and look at the values while the region plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourdogslsong Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share Posted September 22, 2021 Is there no way to analyse it offline? Like if I wanted to match gain on 2 1 hour long regions I'd have to sit there for an hour just to analyse it?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facej Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Have you tried 'Normalize Region Gain'? Select 1 or more regions, choose 'Normalize Region Gain' and decide what you want to modify. I generally choose Peak, each region, and set the peak to -9. All the regions will be normalized to have the peak RMS be -9 dB - non-destructive, amount of gain change is indicated in the region inspector.

gacki Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 How about doing that on the file instead? This should work for peak levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facej Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Normalizing an audio file is destructive. Using the Audio File Editor to check the maximum level works, you get a value, but an awful lot of work. When I first import tracks for mixing I *do* turn the Master fader all the way down and let all the tracks "play" through. The mixer window shows me all of the peak levels. I let that "run" while I am color-coding tracks and arranging them in the proper order, but it turns out I almost always set all of the faders to -6 and normalize the regions to -9 anyway. If I want to "clip gain" a region I generally do that by creating a region (Marquee tool) and clicking on it. If I have the Region Inspector "out" as a floating window I simply click on the gain entry and use the mouse to drag the gain up or down.

fourdogslsong Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share Posted September 22, 2021 Thanks for the info guys but as I said I'm not looking to modify gain, I'm looking to get a region analyzed offline to know what the level is. In protools you simply select a clip, go in audio suite / gain and you have the option to analyse the clip, it gives you the peak and the RMS value of the clip in about 2 seconds, super easy. Alternatively, is there a way to analyze a full region offline with a third party plugin like izotope insight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
