| well, when you burn CD's, do you normalize or don't you? discuss. |

| I don't because the vinyl records have already been mastered and so I just take care to match up the sound levels when mixing. |

| I normalize, just because I want the loudest point to reach 0db. Just incase I recorded my mix a few db too low. |

| First of all, this sounds like a Church Lady discussion from Saturday Night Live. Second of all, after recording, you shouldn't worry about volume levels. Like Tu_Face said, if you are doing you're job, everything should be beat, phase, stage, volume ect matched to begin with. Record and listen to things as if you were in a real life unedited situation. It gives you a whole new perspective on things. |

I will mostly use the hard limiter to boost the recording up 6 or so Db. I've tested using the limiter vs. normalizer in cooledit and the limiter'ed version sounded a little better (TO ME).
I been using the hard limiter on my practice cd's so that they sound alittle louder.
I haven't done mastering on a mix cd yet though.
After I get more guidance on the mastering technique, then I will try to use other effects/processes. |

Possibly so, but if you go about recording a mix where you don’t leave yourself a few dB overhead just in case, one gets filed under the Spin Doctor heading of ‘ nut’. :p
Anyway, I think people are getting normalisation and compression mixed up again! |
