The normalization procedure was a simple program run on all sound vectors before analyzing them. The process scales and shifts the sound vectors so they have a max amplitude of one and have a average value of zero. This removes DC component from the Frourier transform and also ensures that the amplitude of the transforms are of similar magnitude.
