5.4D DSP4:NORMALIZER
A Normalizer's function is to scan a Track for the highest peak value, determine the ratio between that
peak value and full-scale, and multiply the Track by that ratio so that the highest peak value of the
Track is equal to full-scale.
The major improvement in this normalizer over others is that the gain multiplication is performed in
real time, instead of rendering the normalized file back to disk. This allows re-normalizing if changes to
the Track Gain, Compression, EQ, Limiting and Track Fade blocks occur after the first pass of
normalization.
The normalizer does not have any parameters per se, other than the current gain multiplier (which is
not user set, but is determined from the Track).
In order to normalize a Track, move the cursor under the "Current" field, and press the UP/YES button.
The screen will prompt "Calc Track? Y/N", and if you press the UP/YES button again, the
normalizer will scan through the Track, find the appropriate gain multiplier, and set the current
multiply value accordingly. The normalizer will also turn its On/Off parameter to On, if it was not on
previously. In order to disable the normalization, move the cursor to the On/Off field and press the
DOWN/NO button to turn the normalizer off.
5.4E DSP5:COPY DSP SETTINGS
This feature provides the ability to copy and paste DSP settings between tracks, even between tracks in
different playlists. All of the Track DSP parameters are copied and pasted at once, including Track
Gain, Compression parameters, EQ parameters, Limiter parameters, Normalizer parameters, and Track
Fade parameters.
To copy the DSP settings from a Track, first select the playlist and track from which you wish to copy
(your "source" Track), then press the TRACK DSP button repeatedly until DSP Page 5 is displayed, as
shown in Figure 5.4.2.

Copy DSP Settings Page
Pressing the DOWN/NO button in this page will have no effect. Pressing the UP/YES button will copy
all DSP parameters into a temporary RAM buffer. This RAM buffer will retain its settings until either
another DSP Copy operation is performed, or until power is turned off to the MasterLink.
5.4F DSP6:PASTE DSP SETTINGS
Once a DSP Copy operation has been performed, you may paste those parameters as many times as
you like into as many tracks as you wish. Note that these pasted parameters will overwrite any Track
DSP parameters that you have already applied to the target Track.
To paste DSP parameters into a Track, first select the Track to which you wish to apply the copied
parameters (your "destination" Track), then press the TRACK DSP button repeatedly until DSP Page 6
is displayed, as shown in Figure 5.4.3.
