Normalizing sets all the files in a compilation to an
average volume. It's mostly used when you're
making a compilation of songs from different
sources that may have different levels and therefore
makes the compilation more consistent
volume-wise. You should probably disable this for
burning live shows though, as you might notice the
volume changing between the seamless tracks. It
certainly isn't a 'lossy' conversion, but I'd say the
tapers would prefer if you just burn the files as they
are without normalizing them - It ensures all copies
in circulation sound the same. Hope that helps.
