Re: Do you lose resolution by recording to HD first and "Normalizing" to 0dB later?

68.43.32.8

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).
