Anyway: What is meant by "Normalize" when you see it in your DAW is basically bringing the highest peak up or down to a predetermined level.
You are doing this to keep your music at roughly the same volume as everyone else's or... every other song on the disc.
Wavelab and other software let you determine what that level will be.
Mixcraft and by the looks of it, the one that you are using, do not.
For the sake of finishing your product so that it can play on the same rotation as other recordings without jumping out or being too quiet, you want to choose a level somewhere between 0dB (very Loud) and -03dB (a little too quiet.
Capeesh?
