Forgive me if what I ask seems ignorant, but does anyone know of any methods
which can be utilised (with particular reference to CEP2 or Adobe Audition
1.0) which will create smooth recordings from a mic.

By this I mean a level of consistency around all of the recording, so there
are not massive peaks and then other areas which seem quiet, this is probbly
me being fussy but when these recordings are placed over music for example,
they often need a volume boost which will involve faffing around with it to
ensure there are no red peaks anywhere!

Regards,

Tom.

PS I hope u understod what I was on about!
