13.10 and 13.11 overly amplified in auto normalization

borate

Version 12.14.

First load (cache empty)...

2nd load...

3rd load (after clearing project but not cache)...

13.09....

Yes, it doesn't increase level in repeat load but the level it loads is clipping compared to 13.09's level.

Looking more closely, yes - some clipping. See above. It's the same for reloads. Report it, referencing this thread.

Done

My (and other more sensitive) ears tell me that the audio levels on your project are the same in 13.20 and 13.09. No clipping heard.

But the waveform and meters are different. That could change in the future. 13.09 on top, 13.20 on the bottom.

13.09.mp4

13.20.mp4

When these files are opened in Wavepad, the waveforms are the same.

Thanks for following up on this. Yes the meter is important for I use it to decide how to set the volume level. Better make it accurate. 🙂 The sound was in fact the same.

Here I compared the 3 meter displays from VP1309, VP1321 and WP. All three were after normalization, with VP done in the auto normalization during import, and WP done as auto normalize.

One can notice the top display in WP, is closer to VP1309 than VP1321, where there're some clipping displayed. Sound the same. Wish it can use the WP display as a standard. 🙂

BTW I took the time to compare the meter reading of clipping in both wavepad and VP, actually the current VP reading at 13.21 is accurate to wavepad level.
