RE: normalization help
equivocation.... minidisk compression is not the same thing as what milan is talking about.
minidisk 'compression' = reduction in file size.
audio 'compression' = reduction in dynamic range of the signal. they have nothing in common (though i suppose part of reduction in file size could include a reduction in dynamic range).
you don't need anything complicated. try the cool edit 2000 demo (http://www.syntrillium.com , i think you can use the basic compressor and save in the demo... amplitude, dynamics processing, start with the "4:1 above -20db" preset and go from there. don't forget the makeup gain.
there are of course much better compressors, but it might give you an idea, and then you can go from there.
