Normalization is evil. In this case, you want compression, not normalization. You compress the soft sounds louder towards the loud ones, and then you can hear them in a car, train, etc. > My old Rio Karma has an AGC (gain-riding) feature that is really useful > in the car/train/plane.

I had a very early Sony portable CD player (from ~1988) that had compression. Nearly all audio editing tools contain compressors. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
