Waveform Appearance on TrackTool

[matteolop]

Hi, another aspect of TrackTool that I personally don't like is that when I normalize the songs, it has to necessarily decrease the view of the song's waveform.
I think it's wrong for a sound engineer, also because if you notice the mark points working at 0dB they are in a certain point, and once normalized to -23 lufs, it will create an additional space (in reality there is none but you can't see anything from the drawing - and consequently it confuses me).
In short, I would like to correctly normalize the songs, but leave the song's waveform in its original shape - enlarged (to be more careful in the editing phase - since your zoom is very limited).
I'll make myself understood with a video: https://we.tl/t-7c1US949ii

Thanks

What RadioBOSS version do you use?

 

[matteolop]

Latest version 7.1.1.4 x64.
But I've noticed this since version 6.

Thanks

Thank you, we'll check if something's wrong there.

This doesn't seem to reproduce here, if a file is normalized then level is reset back to 0dB, the waveform returns to its original size. Can you please send the video again (link is expired) so we can check again what happens in your case?

Hi, I can make more videos where I show exactly the steps I do when I upload the songs, to make you see everything better.
But since I would be framing sensitive data, if you need it, can I send it to you privately?

Thanks

Waveform drawing seems to be correct - when drawing it, it takes into account the Level position and applies that to the waveform size. It's that at lower levels the waveform size becomes too small and looks closed to a flat line. I'm not sure what the solution would be here.
