Sound: Scale intensity...
|
|
A command available in the Modify menu when you select one or more Sound objects. With this command you multiply the amplitude of each Sound in such a way that its average (i.e. root-mean-square) intensity becomes the new average intensity that you specify (see Settings).
Settings
- New average intensity (dB SPL)
- the new average intensity of the Sound. The standard value is 70 dB SPL. This means that the root-mean-square amplitude of the sound will come to lie 70 dB above the assumed auditory threshold of 0.00002 Pa. Please check whether as a result a peak in the sound does not get below -1 Pa or above +1 Pa. If that happens, the sound will be clipped when played, which will be audible as distortion; in thast case you may want to set this number to 60 dB or even lower.
