Volume Maximizer tab 
The controls on the Volume Maximizer tab are used to limit the peak amplitude of an audio file or to boost the overall level without 
clipping the waveform and distorting the audio. These controls are explained below. 
Control 
Description 
Threshold 
The Threshold fader is used to adjust the audio level at which the volume maximizer activates. 
Audio with levels higher than the Threshold value are affected, while audio at levels lower than 
this value pass through the volume maximizer uninterrupted. 
Output level 
The Output level fader allows you to determine the level to which peaks above the Threshold 
setting are boosted or cut. 
Release time 
The Release time slider allows you to determine how soon after falling below the threshold the 
audio signal attenuation is interrupted. 
Use longer look-ahead 
When you select the Use longer look-ahead check box, the volume maximizer scans farther 
ahead in the incoming audio to determine the amount of limiting that is needed. This results in 
limiting being applied before the threshold-surpassing audio actually occurs. However, the 
pre-limiting effect (fades that occur prior to attacks) of this option may be distracting. 
Input/Output meter 
This meter allows you to monitor the level of the incoming and outgoing signals. When an 
Input button is displayed, the meters are displaying the incoming signal level. Clicking Input 
toggles the button to an Output button and displays the outgoing signal level. Clicking Output 
returns you to the incoming signal display. 
Attenuation meter 
This meter allows you to monitor the audio signal attenuation derived from the current 
settings.
