I think calling the process "RMS normalizing" is fine.


I think this is a good term for it as well but I think a few days ago
the term "RMS normalizing" caused someone to believe that I was
attempting to set the RMS level to -0dBFS.


I don't really recall that. You would most certainly have had a mountain
of angry people knocking on *that* post. If I missed it... ah well, this is
getting long.

(What a noise *that* would make!)


And as I'm trying to say, even though not so destructive, limiting does
make a sort of 'noise', albeit low in level and not always readily audible
it still effects the perception, alters the sound and fatigues the ear.
