I liked the article, the only comment I have is to partially disagree with their statement "Normalizing is indistinguishable from moving a volume knob or fader."

Sliders and knobs in DAWs only reduce a track from it's peak volume downward. Setting all sliders all the way up only stops any reduction from taking place.

Now if it were inside a different setup where the track could have an amplification source, I would pretty much agree. But then we wouldn't be discussing normalization.

I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
