Platinum Notes first analyzes track volume and uses multiband expansion and/or compression to achieve a consistent output volume, which you can configure if you don’t like the default template. Platinum Notes’ special multiband compression algorithm repairs any clipped peaks in the waveform. It also corrects pitch problems and can add a bit of vinyl-style analog warmth using an exciter processor. As a final step, the audio runs through a high-grade IRC limiter volume adjuster said to be much more professional than an auto-gain setting found in iTunes or in DJ software. The final result, if Platinum Notes is doing what it’s purported to do, is music that sounds smoother and is loud without any clipping. The software never overwrites the original file, but rather creates a new one with an amended file name in the location of your choice for example, “Studio Killers-In Tokyo.mp3” becomes “Studio Killers-In Tokyo_PN.mp3”.
