Feature update for the gain normalization tool
We are excited to announce the release of the latest update for TheNormalizer, our powerful gain normalization tool designed to make your audio mixing process more efficient and precise. TheNormalizer is a gain plugin that simplifies the process of achieving proper gain staging across all your tracks and buses, allowing you to easily ensure consistent and optimal levels in your mixes. With this new update, we continue to enhance the functionality and performance of the plugin, addressing a range of user requests and offering a smoother experience.
TheNormalizer is built around our cutting-edge auto-gain technology, which automates the process of adjusting the gain levels of individual tracks and buses. This eliminates the need for time-consuming manual adjustments and ensures that each element in your mix is properly normalized. By automatically adjusting levels to meet your desired specifications, TheNormalizer allows you to focus on the creative aspects of your project rather than worrying about technical details.
One of the standout features of TheNormalizer is its ability to automatically gain stage all of your tracks using the grouping function. This feature enables you to apply consistent gain adjustments across multiple tracks at once, which is particularly useful for large, complex mixes where manually adjusting each track would be inefficient and time-consuming. Additionally, you can easily normalize your buses to the LUFS (Loudness Units relative to Full Scale) level you desire. This feature is incredibly useful for broadcasting, streaming, or any project that requires you to meet specific loudness standards. If you need to comply with peak level specifications, you can also normalize your tracks to the exact dBFS (decibels relative to full scale) level required, giving you the flexibility to meet any technical demands.
Another major benefit of TheNormalizer is its efficiency. Once the gain is set, the plugin uses minimal CPU power, as it only performs simple multiplication to adjust levels. This means that TheNormalizer won’t put unnecessary strain on your computer’s processing power, making it a reliable tool for any project, whether you’re working on a large mix or a smaller session. The plugin’s efficiency allows you to maintain a smooth workflow without sacrificing performance or responsiveness.
Moreover, the plugin’s efficiency allows you to use it in real-time without introducing any significant latency or affecting the overall performance of your DAW, even when working on projects with complex routing and multiple tracks. This is particularly advantageous for users working on large-scale productions where maintaining real-time control and monitoring is critical to the creative process.
TheNormalizer also includes a convenient “continuous mode,” which provides an ongoing, real-time adjustment of the gain amount to match the level you set. This feature works similarly to the AutoGain Pro plugin when it is set to use the internal reference. Continuous mode is particularly useful when working with dynamic tracks that require gradual volume adjustments, such as voiceovers or spoken word recordings. This ensures that the audio remains consistent in loudness throughout, even if the track’s dynamics fluctuate. For example, when adjusting a dialogue track in a podcast, continuous mode can be used to automatically level out the loudness, ensuring a consistent listening experience for the audience.
The plugin boasts a user-friendly interface, which allows you to quickly and easily adjust the parameters to fit your needs. Whether you’re a seasoned sound engineer or a beginner, TheNormalizer’s intuitive design ensures that you can use it effectively without a steep learning curve. Its simplicity doesn’t compromise its power, as it provides all the tools necessary for achieving professional-level gain normalization.
TheNormalizer works seamlessly with all major DAWs, making it an essential tool for any modern production environment. Whether you’re working on music, film soundtracks, podcasts, audiobooks, or live sound recordings, the plugin’s straightforward controls and automation capabilities can significantly streamline your workflow. By allowing you to easily and quickly adjust levels, TheNormalizer helps you avoid the pitfalls of improper gain staging, which can often lead to distortion, clipping, and a lack of dynamic range in your final mix.
Added Apple Silicon native compatibility for AAX: This update brings full compatibility with Apple’s new Silicon-based processors, ensuring smoother operation and better performance for users with Apple Silicon Macs. By optimizing TheNormalizer for these new chips, we are ensuring users can take full advantage of the latest hardware, improving the speed and stability of the plugin.
Changed the behavior of the analyze/normalize buttons: We made adjustments to ensure that normalization no longer unintentionally affects the LUFS int (integrated LUFS level). This ensures greater accuracy and consistency in loudness management and helps prevent unwanted shifts in perceived loudness.
Removed the AU MIDI effect instance of the plugin: This version addresses a mistake in the previous release by removing the AU MIDI effect instance of TheNormalizer, which had been included by error. This ensures a cleaner, more streamlined plugin package for users.
Fixed a random crash when switching to/from LUFS mode: We’ve addressed an issue that caused occasional crashes when switching between LUFS mode and other modes in the plugin, ensuring more stable operation during your workflow.
These updates are part of our commitment to providing you with the best possible experience when using TheNormalizer. With the addition of native Apple Silicon support, the plugin now runs faster and more efficiently on the latest hardware, ensuring that you get the best performance regardless of your system setup. The bug fixes and improvements further enhance the stability of the plugin, making it an even more reliable tool in your mixing and mastering toolkit.
This new version of TheNormalizer, v1.3.3, is a bugfix release, but it also includes important functionality enhancements that make the plugin even more powerful and user-friendly. Whether you’re working on a highly dynamic track, adjusting the levels of multiple tracks at once, or ensuring compliance with loudness standards, TheNormalizer has the tools you need to achieve precise gain staging with minimal effort. The improvements in this update address some of the most commonly requested features, making the plugin more efficient and better suited to a variety of production environments.
As always, this update is free for all owners of the plugin. To download the latest version, simply visit the user area on our website or use HoRNet DoIn, our easy-to-use downloader and installer.
