In Reply to: RE: LP recordings: Normalization and limiter posted by Tre' on November 11, 2021 at 13:53:50
I thought I was saying that you cannot increase the resolution of digital recording through normalization. In other words, if the loudest peak is 6-dB below full scale, you will not increase resolution by normalizing the recording so its peak is raised to 0-dB full scale. All you are doing is raising the volume of your digital recording. If the loudest peak is 6-dB below full scale on a 24-bit recording, you have 23-bit resolution. Normalizing the recording cannot increase resolution beyond 23-bits.

So when you normalize from -6 to 0 db the noise floor comes up 6db?

If you believe that normalization will increase resolution, try recording with the peaks 90-dB below full scale on a 24-bit recording and then normalize that recording so its peaks reach 0-dB full-scale. See where you find the noise floor on that one.
Good luck,

I'll take that as a yes.
Thanks, I guess I never understood that. Well, all the more reason to make sure to record as hot as you can without allowing digital clipping.
