I can see very slight limiting occurring in the animation.
I can see no compression occurring.
The point of uploading the image though was to debunk the baseless
claims that I am "severely dicking with the music" by doing this to my
WAVs prior to encoding.
Music that already approaches your desired RMS level will not be altered
much. Most music will. Sugeest you look at before/after on a range of
your music. Not just sections of waqveform but whole tracks.
We're talking about an approximately +5dB boost to this one file,
however, in order to pump it up to -10dBFS.
The original levels of the MFSL DSotM CD are far lower than those of my
CD copy of U2's, "Sunday Bloody Sunday" - yet that entire album only
required a boost of +4.5dB to reack -10dBFS.
So this "normalize" application of which I am so fond does indeed appear
to consider the source WAV's soft/loud ratio appropriately. Otherwise,
the "quieter" Pink Floyd WAV would have required more pumpitude not less
than the "louder" U2 WAV in order to match their averages.
