What is Audio Normalize?

Peak normalize finds the loudest sample and scales the whole signal so that peak hits your target (e.g. −1 dBFS is conventional for broadcast). RMS normalize is roughly proportional to perceived loudness — better when you have multiple takes you want to feel equally loud.

FAQ

RMS vs Peak — which should I use?
Use Peak when you want to prevent clipping and don't care about perceived loudness. Use RMS when you want multiple files to feel equally loud (closer to LUFS-style normalization).
