[QUOTE="Per SÃ¸vik, post: 66852, member: 1285"] re: X32 Discussion I don't usually normalize tracks, but I prefer to have finished backing mixes normalized to a predictable level when they are being played back from a stick. And since max trim of -12 dB leaves the track still very hot if you've got a close to 0 dB file on the stick, with cliplight flashing and having to keep the fader well below zero, I find it better to just do a -6 dB normalization of everything that goes on the stick to have a consistent starting point. Normalizing takes only seconds, and if someone gives me an MP3, conversion has to happen anyway. Defragging audio drives? Maybe not, but an occasional dumping and complete formatting is definitely a good idea. Normalizing raw tracks? Sometimes there will be a weak track that could do with being bumped a couple or more bits to get it into a range where there is enough gain in the daw without having to go thru' a gain plugin.
