No, you're theory is correct. Everything is equally/proportionally boosted
by the amount of dB you nominate. So if there was any tape hiss from the
original recording mastered onto the CD, it too will be boosted, but because
you're also amplifying the foreground material, it will continue to mask the
background noise.

Subject: MD: Boosting digital input
This may be a silly question, but I hate to assume; when I digitally
copied a CD, I found it was recorded at a very low volume, so I kept
boosting the input volume on the MD recorder until it was still
undistorted, and recorded a much louder MD from the CD.
I would imagine that there will be no difference in noise (such as the
original tape hiss that recorded along with the music on the original
CD), that everything would be boosted equally, but does anyone know
differently about this?
