Not normalising, but....

Good eve.

I am a relative newbie, and although I can generally do everything I want, I
was wondering if there was a way to pump a sound byte up to its maximum
volume...

....what i mean is, if, for example, I have a voice soundbyte, where some
instances of the byte aren't very loud, but others are very loud, I would
like to pump up the quiet bits without pumping up the loud bits and causing
them to fuzz and sound pap (i'm sure there's a tech term, wen it goes over
that line in CEP2 basically!)

Anyway, if there is such a method I'd welcome it, perhaps i've missed
something glaringly obvious!!?

Thanks in advance,

T.

Sure, it is simply compression -available on just about every audio
editor you can get for a PC. And just for clarity, it is a sound BITE,
not byte.

Compression. Done by a compressor.

Thankyou so much, that's saved me so much faffing around!

Dynamic processing, all I had to do was go there and test it in CEP! Thanks
again!

If you have CEP2, try fiddling around under :
Edit = "Group Waveform Normalize"
or also try :
Effects = Amplitude ="Dynamic Processing"

If you're playing the files on a PC, the FooBar2000 media player lets you
do exactly what you asked in real time. Go to the DSP menu in preferences
and play with the dynamics compressor.
