 Normalize
Normalizing a sound locates its loudest peak, raises it up to “full scale” (i.e. loudest
level before clipping), and proportionately raises the volume of the rest of the clip.
To normalize a clip, highlight and select Sound>Properties>Normalize. Like
all Mixcraft, normalization is not “destructive,” so it doesn’t permanently alter the
sound stored on your hard drive. To disable normalization, simply go back to
Sound>Properties and uncheck Normalize.
Note: Normalizing essentially makes clips as loud as possible without clipping,
but does not alter dynamic balance like a compressor or limiter.
EXTERNAL WAVE EDITOR
Mixcraft will work in conjunction with external sound editing software to apply
permanent changes or edits to the sound. For example, if you want to reverse a sound
or edit out clicks and pop, you may want to use an external Wave editing software.
 Configuring an External Wave Editor
To configure an external Wave editor, select File>Preferences>General. Under
External Wave Editor, click the Browse… button, navigate to the Wave editing
software and click to select it.
