Volume Menu

Menu Command: Effect | Volume

Effect | Volume displays a menu containing volume related effects. Volumes are specified in decibels (dB), but a percentage value is shown as well. See the GoldWave Manual for more information about volume units.

Although the output volume of the playback device can be controlled by a fader in the Control window, volume effects change the internal volume of the sound itself.

Match Volume
Sets consistant volume levels across different files based on an average level.

Maximize Volume
Increases volume as high as possible without distortion (sometimes referred to as normalizing). Shows current maximum volume levels.
