How to Change Settings in "Speech Volume Leveller"?

Question

Greetings,

I'm using Audition CC 12.0.1.34 on a late 2016 Macbook Pro.

I have a Voice Over track where I need to have the Loudness to be normalized (highs reduced, lows raised).

I tried using Speech Volume Leveller as an Effect on the Track, and tried pulling the sliders to change settings.

However, I find that when I change the value of "Target Volume Level", it resets back to -12db. Ditto with the other settings.

The Preset I used was "Custom".

Even more puzzling, was that the Output level of the Voice Over is approximately -3 to -5 db.

I've attached a Screengrab.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,

Rajnesh

I suggest you have a read of the information about Audition's automation modes, because it's doing exactly what I would expect from having that track's automation set to 'touch'...

Touch

Similar to Latch, but gradually returns settings to previously recorded values when you stop adjusting them. Use Touch to overwrite specific sections of automation while leaving others intact.

The document with all the information about it is here: Automate mixes with envelopes in Adobe Audition CC
