Imagine you just obtained a finished, commercially
produced and
mastered song.
You play it on your music system with the volume set
at 5.0. It
sounds a bit too quiet, so you turn it up to 7.0.
Did you change the mix? Did you change any aspect of
the
production process?
Hopefully it is clear that you did not.
Normalization is *EXACTLY* equivalent to this process.
I think that by now I can see the topic :)
So, if the CD is very much in the ballpark of the commercial productions of the same
genre, then why not leave the final adjustment to the listener anyways ?
