can an ac3 sound file be normalised like a wav file,so I can increase the overall sound,I can do it very easily with Audition on a wav file,but if not I can load the ac3 into Audition change to wac(PCM) normalise,but can I take the normalised sound and convert back to ac3?
I hope I make sense with my question LOL
thanks

You cannot normalise an AC3 file without converting to a WAV file then re-encoding.

However, AC3 should not need normalising if it's encoded properly, as there are values stored in the AC3 stream that tell the decoder how to amplify/attenuate to make sure the sound plays at a known reference level.

Is this a file ripped from a DVD or TS file, or one you encoded yourself?
