AudioSuite > Clip by Clip & Multi-Input Mode?

[Chevron]

Is it possible in an AudioSuite plugin to have a combo of Clip by Clip & Multi-Input Mode?

As soon as I switch to Multi-Input Mode, it automatically swaps to Entire Selection.

Conversely, if I then select Clip by Clip, it automatically swaps to Mono Mode.

I am trying to normalise a bunch of Clips, whilst keeping the left/right balance but can not find a way to do it across a number of different Clips. Been many years since I have needed to do this, but I recall this was possible - perhaps not?

Are the clips on separate tracks with varying lengths? Multi-Mono or Interleaved session?

Probably, I would consolidate first. Entire Selection instead of clip by clip make sense if clips and tracks aren't strongly related.

OR-- why doesn't clip by clip work? Single clips in single tracks with single pan knobs? Ignore the routing, and normalize clip by clip, maybe.

Multi Input mode could make a bunch of stereo or surround files with a bunch of empty channels. Not that you shouldn't ever want that, but I'd say it is just a little peculiar to me and not a default.

Page 975 in the current Reference Guide is where they discuss AudioSuite Processing. Chapter 43.

It refers in particular to Mono, Stereo, and Multi Modes. That part might interest you.

This is the most pertinent to me part.

Thanks and all, however your suggestions are not relevant to me in this case.

I asked questions because it is unclear what your goal even is.

I no longer care though. Whatever

I don't understand either. It maybe a limitation of the plugin you are using which you didn't say what it was.

Is the plugin even built to do what you want.

It seems odd to me, but perhaps there is a reason I am not aware of why it behaves like this.

All the info is in my original post.

Simply put, I can not have both Clip by Clip & Multi-Input Mode

Hi Chevron,

You said you want to normalize, but not which Plugin you are using for this.
The options and combinations available vary across the individual plugins and your selection in the timeline.

Hey, and thanks.

Just the standard Avid Normalize.

I have 100-plus Audio Clips with varying peak levels that I want to normalise individually across a number of tracks. Obviously Entire Selection is not appropriate, and in Clip by Clip mode you can not have Multi Input Mode, only Mono Mode - so the left/right balance gets normalised individually.

Perhaps there is a reason that both Clip by Clip, and Multi-Mode are not possible to have together that I am unaware of. Or perhaps it is a bug as I thought this was accessible years ago.

You could try Object Grabber Mode for the process, but the only reliable way I've found to Normalize hundreds of files is to process stereo clips individually with the help of a key/mouse automator app. MuGaa recorder is the one I use.

Thanks, good thinking and I did try it - however the separate Clips still get treated as an Entire Selection.

I think the problem with trying it my way, is that being in Clip by Clip forces the Normalize plugin into Mono Mode.

The ultimate aim is to increase the loudness that will vary from clip to clip even though the target loudness normalisation will be the same value for all selected clips. Whilst also keeping the left/right balance of course...

Currently scratching my head.
