In Reply to: Do you lose resolution by recording to HD first and "Normalizing" to 0dB later? posted by High-end Dreamer on March 17, 2002 at 21:07:00:
Normalization doesn't magically restore bits that were lost in the recording process (for the sake of headroom), no. It's just digital hygiene.Keep in mind that '24-bit' converters are not really 24-bits, so when you lose a bit, you're not losing the least significant bit (you can't lose what you never had in the first place).
