trained 100 monkeys to jump on the keyboard and write:

There is, however, some validity to not normalizing to full scale (0
dBFS) on general principles. It has to do with the characteristics of
the player. Many (in fact most) D/A converters increase their distortion
in the last 1 dB or so before full scale.

Before I posted, I read everything I've got saved on my laptop from
this ng. After I posted, I went to Google and read the best responses
from an older post, specifically Scott Dorsey's response.

I feel better knowing the tracks I normalized I *didn't* normalize to
0db, but to -6db.

But I still wish I'd gotten the levels right in the first place,
dammit.
