Audio Normalization

The Audio Normalization task analyzes an uploaded media file and returns loudnorm normalization settings you can apply during encoding.

Audio normalization can be CPU-intensive. Using Forge lets you offload this work to a more powerful machine, so it does not impact other runner performance on the same processing node.

Why You Would Use It​

  • Get more consistent playback loudness across files.
  • Reduce very loud or very quiet audio differences.
  • Apply normalization as part of automated video/audio processing flows.

What It Returns​

Forge returns normalization settings that the flow element applies during processing.
