[QUOTE="jvr, post: 918439, member: 15634"] Is there any merit in normalizing harsh sounding audio files with something like Audacity? I played around with one such file in my iTunes library this morning by following this procedure: Convert ALAC to AIFF (in order to edit with Audacity); Normalize the AIFF file in Audacity; Export and re-convert to ALAC; Re-import into iTunes. The resulting file was down 12 kbps compared to the original and it sounds a tad "softer" on headphones in iTunes. Any suggestions, or is this just a useless waste of time? [/QUOTE]
