Quote: Is it possible to disable the leveler function on one or more tracks?

Don

Hi cuartetto,
Please provide a screenshot (of the Edit Workspace with your project insitu) of what you're referring to? I'm not sure as to what the "leveler function" is.

Edit: Minor correction

The leveler function is like an automatic level control.
I ran into this problem with one of my .wav audio tracks. There was a loud noise on the track which caused the leveler to immediately lower the audio level, then after a short delay the audio returned to the normal level. I attempted to mute the portion of the track where the loud noise was present, but I suppose since it was on the original track, the leveler still was affecting the level.

I suspect you'll need to clip out the offending audio piece and maybe dub-in a muted .wav portion to replace it. Win8 64-bit Pro Retail

Iste is usually caused by camcorder that has automatic volume level.
The normalized audio, PD11 can be applied manually. AMD-FX 8350 / 8GB DDR3

The big level change was not present on the camera recording and there is no agc action turned on in the recorder. It's all happening in PD.

If there is noise level very high short it is best to cut as OnTheWeb said.
If the noise appears only when editing in PD11, can be some program error.
The normalization of PD, does not work as you described earlier, it simply takes as reference the highest peak of the audio, lowering all the rest, in my opinion.
For this case I cut very high peaks, and if appropriate then applied to normalize. AMD-FX 8350 / 8GB DDR3

Hi cuartetto -

You ask "Can the leveler function be disabled?". The answer is that "Normalise" (in the audio mixing room) is only enabled when you click on it! (i.e. by default, it's disabled)

If there's a noise in your recording, as OnTheWeb & playsound have suggested, you'd need to edit the audio separately.

As the Help file says, using the "Normalise" function just means that:
if there is more than one audio clip on the voice or music track, or on any of the audio tracks, click the Normalize button to have CyberLink PowerDirector set the volume for all the clips to the same level.



It's useful for normalising the audio level on one track.
