Not completely true. Yes it lifts also the noise up with it, but then again, this is irrelevant for the usage.





Disagree. You always should consider the side effects of whatever action you're taking to treat a sonic problem. This is especially going to be a big fat problem with recorded real acoustic instruments. All kinds of noise, squeaks and stuff are going to get turned up as well. Then, you have a new problem on your hand, no matter how impressive your meter level looks afterwards. Of course, those noises aren't added to the track by Normalizing it, but now they're audible and more pronounced.Therefor it "could" sound worse very much so depending on the quality of the original recording. If there's a need to boost track that much, you might as well re-record the track if it's an option.

@ Mus:
What don't you experiment with different type of tracks, and hear the results for yourself. That'll help you a lot.
