Actually, no. That's not what he wants. Normalization simply adjusts |
| 6 |
to 0db. How loud something sounds however is not a simple matter of |
| 7 |
what the maximum peak of a waveform is. ReplayGain actually analyzes |
| 8 |
the music to tell how loud it *sounds*, not how loud it actually is. |

For example, you can have audio that was normalized (0db) but doesn't |
| 11 |
sound as loud as, say, -5db audio, but which has compressed dynamic range. |

Normalization makes audio equally loud for hardware. ReplayGain makes |
| 14 |
audio equally loud for humans. :-) |
