Hello,
I have 26 *.wav files for a presentation. I want to normalize all the tracks so that the sound volume is the same. After normalizing all *.wav files (so that the left channel RMS power value is set to -20.00 dB), all of my right channel values are approximately -17 to -18 RMS power values. Is it best to set all channels (right and left)to the same RMS power value (i.e. -20.00 dB).
Thank you,
Jimmyy2krb

It depends on the peak values of the lower channel if the lower channel has higher peaks then no If not then MAYBE try it and listen to the diffrence and see what you think.
