Lost in the audio forest? Here's how to find your way.

Imagine you’re lost in a forest. Your phone is on, but there’s no internet. No network. No GPS.

You're surrounded by trees. No trail in sight. And no idea which way to go.

But then someone says, “If you can just figure out where north is, you’ll find your way back.”

And suddenly, it clicks — your phone still has a compass app. You open it, it points north… and just like that, you know which direction to walk.

That’s what it’s like in audio editing, too.

Sometimes you're just stuck. You tweak something here, cut a bit there, apply an effect or two… but things still sound off. You lose your sense of direction.

And when that happens, the tool that can point you back to the right path is Normalize.

Yes, something as simple as the Normalize effect can reset your levels, fix your peaks, and give you a clean place to start from.

This Friday at 7 AM PT / 9 AM CT / 10 AM ET / 3 PM UK, I’m hosting a live workshop focused on:

🎯 The “North” of Audio Editing – How Normalize sets the foundation for high-quality audio
📘 Audiobook Proofreading Techniques – Why this step burns people out, and how TwistedWave can help reduce the effort by 70%

The session will run 40 to 60 minutes, including a live Q&A at the end — so bring your questions!

Whether you're narrating audiobooks, doing voice-over, editing podcasts, or just creating content, this session will change how you approach editing and proofreading.

Hope to see you there — and help you find your “north” again.
