Re: Question about Normalization (how does it work in Audaci

<<<I think it might be useful if there was a tick box in the Normalize function that offered something like "tie stereo pairs" or "preserve stereo balance" as an option. That way one could import a number of stereo songs and normalize them all to the same level, but keep the rela...
