Polarity Music Audio Normalize (Stock) Preset [Synth Presets]

In this tutorial, I demonstrated how to create an auto-level preset in Bitwig Studio 5.2 to automatically adjust the volume of instrument tracks and live audio. This method provides a workaround for the lack of a native normalization feature for non-audio material, enabling consistent volume levels without manual adjustment.

Key Points:

• Manual Volume Adjustment: Normally done using output knobs, track faders, or a tool device.
• Auto-Level Preset: Created to continuously measure and adjust the audio input, keeping the peak at 0 dB.
• One-Time Adjustment: Use a plugin like dB meter for setting a reference volume and matching the output once.
• Workaround in Bitwig: Utilize the chain device and its wet gain learn feature to analyze and match input and output volumes.
• Creating a Preset: Integrate a test tone for reference and use the chain device to normalize the audio receiver output.
• Limitation: The learn feature can't be mapped to a macro or remote control, limiting automation.

This method is effective for ensuring consistent volume levels across different tracks, especially for live audio or external synthesizers.
