My arguments in favor of preprocessing the WAVs have *always* been made
with the subject of the encoding process in mind. Geoff is the one who
has gross dislike of the encoding process, not I, therefore his
arguments which centered around uncompressed audio only were
completely beside the point, IMHO.

You're entitled to that. But I don't know anyone who frequents this group
who does not dislike the MP3 encoding processes to some degree - so I'd
be inclined to let him off the hook. It really changes the audio a bit too much
to be respected a great deal by people who do their best to make it as
good as possible for a living. Once up in the seriously high bit rates, it
can be really good.

There is No question here. There is No statement of intent. There
is nothing more than what I have already repeatedly noted. This is
your original post - a duplicate of that made on another group

No, it was posted *here* *first*. It was re-posted elsewhere later.
That post was specifically intended for this newsgroup when I wrote it.

Don't forget Google... (which is really having some problems right now).

By the way... thank you for not crossposting - and if Google is reporting
these times incorrectly, I apologize.

No, louder is better *with* *lossy*. It's right there (and quite
deliberately placed) in the subject line.

Now you're picking on me with semantics. g I have quoted your
whole phrase enough times that you understand what I mean.

A mission statement lays out a set of goals to accomplish
You posted an opinion, not a goal to accomplish or a question for
the group.

The mission is to confirm or deny the sense in preprocessing WAV files
with "normalize" with regard to minimizing the adverse effects which are
caused by ATH-based frequency filtration techniques.

Do you have ANY other audio processing tools besides "normalize" in your kit ?
