Rules of thumb: Audio levels must not exceed 0dB before exporting. dBFS is usually written as dB, as in 0bB, -3dB, -10 dB, etc. If anything tends to go above the ceiling, it will be chopped off, resulting in audio distortion or clipping. Full Scale = 0dB, and you can consider it as the ceiling of your room.
An audio signal is measured in decibels.ĭBFS: Decibles relative to Full Scale. Here is a screenshot of sound waves before normalizing:Ībbreviations you will meet in this post:ĭB: short for decibels. Most audio editing software come baked with audio normalizing tools, with which you can adjust the volume to a standard level, ensuring that the loudest part won't hit through the ceiling. Now the ceiling is 0dB, below you have -1dB, -2dB, etc. In digital audio, however, things are measured from ceiling down. We measure things in real life from ground up, like how tall you are or how many floors there are in a building.
Audio normalization can boost your audio to a target level by altering the amplitude of the overall recording by the same amount, while at the same time ensuring that the peak won't exceed 0dB to avoid clipping and distortion.
