RE: LP recordings: Normalization and limiter

Obviously, there's an app! I just prefer not to use that app to alter every single sample by normalizing. Instead, I prefer to adjust the recording volume control on my DA-3000 so the loudest peak reaches full scale 0-dB. I believe I get a more accurate recording that way.

The only reason I used to normalize my digital recordings was because the Alesis Masterlink did not have an adjustable recording volume control. Now that I upgraded to the TASCAM DA-3000 DSD recorder, it has a recording volume control that I can set to alleviate the need for normalizing. Furthermore, I prefer to copy vinyl in DSD128, which does not allow for normalizing anyway. However, I believe DSD is more accurate than PCM and that's why I record in DSD128.

Like I said, "To each his own!"

Good luck,
John Elison
