And what about programs which normalize automatically? Even twice?
At my WaveLab, there are squares to mark to enable or disable, "normalize
before" and "normalize after". If I don't remove the marks, the software
will not only filter, but also normalize the file both before and after the
operation. Automatically.
WaveLab is made by Steinberg, which has (as far as I know) an excellent
reputation.
How come they propose such a thing? One may very well think that normalizing
is a "safe" operation?
