[SOLVED] Is there any vst-plugin or software for PAN-Normalizing?

Has anybody any idea which vst-plugin can pan-normalize - or has an idea which audio-software reads w64 and can pan-normalize?
 
I have 1400 hours of digitazed DAT cassettes (recordings of a broadcaster).
The problem is, that they are either very left- or very right-heavy. So I have to normalize the left and the right channel seperate.
Usually I do this outside SONAR with Steinberg Wavelab or Adobe Audition via Batch-Process or with the Utilities-Menue inside SONAR.
The problem is that the most files (audioclips) play 5 hours and are greater than 2GB and Adobe and Steinberg break the processing over 2GB, because they cannot write wav-files > 2GB - and cannot write w64.
The second problem is that the .w64 files inside the SONAR-audiofolder are not readable (are nor compatible) by Adobe and Steinberg - so I cannot do a Batch-Process outside SONAR.
Sound Forge can read this .w64 files inside SONAR-audiofolder, but has no way to pan-normalize.
There are a lot of strange tools that do a seperate left and right-normalizing - but only for small wav-files.
   
Has anybody any idea which vst-plugin can pan-normalize - or has an idea which audio-software reads w64 and can pan-normalize?
  
The last chance where to split ALL 1400 hours stereo-clip into two seperate tracks l + r, normalize them seperate and bounce them together. I don't want to do this. That would be a hard and unnecessary work.
 
 
 

process-audio-gain  can up to +18db on each side.

process-audio-gain does not normalize w64-files.

Process/Audio/Gain for the one side and then normalize is probably what savoy meant. However I think Channel Tools would be the best Sonar option.

If the left and right channels have identical content another option is to bounce to mono, then another back to stereo, but is manual.
I personally would prefer the batch processing so would try splitting the track into clips known to be under 2GB in size (at a simple time interval). My version of SONAR will save them all as broadcast waves, but not reassemble the files (becomes manual again). I am not sure if the reassembly (mass import of broadcast wavs to a single track) was ever added.

 
That does not work. When you split 5 hours in pieces for example for 1 hour (< 2GB) than you have 5 individual clips. And each clip will need various values for panning. Maybe clip 1 needs +2,4 dB for the left channel - and clip 2 need +2,9 dB for the left channel. Bouncing them to one clip will make a step of 0,5 dB at this point. We do not want that.
I need to know which is the highest level left and the highest level right, then I can do this with "Gain" within SONAR.
This are radiobroadcasts which must be archived.
 
I hope that someone has written an vst-plugin that does pan-normalizing.
There is also a vst-plugin like "Dynamik-Normalizer" that helps normalizing endless dialogs over hours >2GB which fluctuate in volume (speaker gets quieter and louder) - without compressing.

I hope that someone has written such a vst-plugin for pan-normalizing. But probably only 3 people of the world need that plugin.
 
 

A channel control should do it with Mid/Side control. Essentially if you reduce the side volume it will be perceived to be more mono.  I use VSL Powerpan, although I think Sonar has a channel width tool which essentially will do the same.
 

I may have missed something. Can your Audition open files >2GB and it was just not recognizing the w64 format?

Well here is a workaround. Configure Sonar to use Sound Forge as an external editor. This way you can jump back and forth between applications and save the final version through Sound Forge.
 

With Sound Forge you select the right channel, the use normalize, it will normalize just the selected data (in this case the right channel).  Then select the left channel and normalize again.
 
There is no easy way a plugin can normalize audio.  VST plugins process a stream of audio, normalize requires access to the entire waveform.  A plugin normalizer would require some bizarre workflow and be very ugly at best.
 
 

I could have sworn you could normalise by RMS in Sound Forge Pro. However I was told by others never to do this unless it was a final audio take.
 
Been a long time since I used it and miss the metering options that comes with it.
