To my way of thinking there's no 'damage'. If you're recording is
already very low level, then normalizing will bring out low bit-rate
artifacts that are best left out of earshot -- cranking up your
amplifier for extra volume will sound much better. That said, I agree
that if converting to mp3, you should probably normalize -- to my ear,
mp3 compression starts to give out at low levels, adding a kind of
glassy (though not entirely unpleasant) distortion.....
