hi
I have a question.. Is it really necessary to normalize if you dont want the dynamics and life sucked out of a recording?
AND the second dumb question is I have a graphic e.q. with 7 bands of e.q. frequency lights for each side.. Should I look at the lights and mix so they light even? What I mean by that is maybe mixing more on sight than sound.. I see how my favorite sounding c.d.'s look as far as the lights on the e.q. goes, but when I tried to match that with my own recordings it sounded waaaay too crisp and harsh to me.. I saw the 16k lights barely registering so I boosted the hell out of the 16k and it sounded terrible... but some of my favortie sounding cd's register quite high in that range..
Any thoughts on these rediculous questions? I saw there is a free normalizing program offered on the front page by 'Audio Grabber' but I havent tried it yet.. I dont record with my computer..
I'm asking this in the newbie section to avoid being flamed.. but feel free to because I get a good laugh out of it sometimes..
thanks
