RMS Normalization & Truncate Silence

[VisionPoint Media Group]

From a vocal narration point of view it would be extremely helpful to have a RMS normalization feature and also a way to truncate silence by track.  These are some very helpful tools in Audacity that would be nice to have in CBB.  I have seen others ask for this in the past and wanted to keep this request happening so that it is not forgotten.

well there is a normalization process but its peak level not RMS. there is also the silence process which can readily trim down below a threshold and split clips (or not) depending on settings.

Thanks.  Yes, I knew about the peak normalization, but it doesn't help with RMS normalization which is a standard for narration.  I had search in the past  for this (RMS normalization requests) and it kinda went nowhere, but I wanted to mention it again.  Right now I believe Adobe Audition has it and I use it in Audacity.  I just wanted to eliminate that extra step. 

Regarding truncating silence, I had seen the remove silence function.  I will take another look at it.  Thanks.

yeah, for something like this i would use Ozone and Insight to get the levels correctly set. and RX for noise reduction etc.
