"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,
John Elison
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.
