question about normalize audio

Question

Hello,In my sequence, if I choose "audio gain" and make a normalize on -3db  I have that : But if I go again in "audio gain", I don't see "-3 db" displayed, I see "0db". Why ?

After having set normalize audio to -3db, the only thing that says me that -3db has been applied is the difference of -3db between the top number and bottom number of this window (gain) :

But if I go in audio panel, I don't see any datas that says me that -3db has been applied.

You are correct about the behavior ... and again, it is because that tool is only intended for use as a quickie tool to get audio to a more usable level for use in the Source monitor or a sequence. Not as a major audio shaping tool.

For that, use the appropriate tools. Which is not that gain function.

That dialog never shows the history of what's been done, only what you are setting now.
