In all of the cases I've presented so far in defense of my use of
Normalize, I would surmise that simply employing its default behaviour
(i.e. normalizing to -12dBFS instead of -10dBFS) would be all that's
required to achieve said effect of "bringing soft music near 0dBFS".



In the circumstances that is quite a reasonable thing to be doing.

A lot of bandwidth would have been saved if you had clearly explained that
(last week) and had been able to explain that "Normalise (application)
prevents clippiong when RMS normalising.

I've described since the beginnings of this discussion in the other
newsgroup(s) my use of -10dBFS as a means I've discovered by which I can
achieve "slightly hot" levels which (at least to me) are similar to
allowing the meters to "lightly touch red" when recording to analog tape
which, AFAIK, is a perfectly sensible analog recording technique which I
have sorely missed being able to do since making the switch into the
digital realm.

Most semi-pro-and up Windows (or Mac) audio software has plugins available
to achieve pretty much just that.
