As you pointed out things change with the zoom and it sems quite drastic, 
a spike may shrink to less than
half the height as I zoom. This does not really make sense to me. So from 
what you said the closer zoom is
the more true the amplitude? It seems to continue to shrink as I zoom 

>>>I've seen this a couple of times, but again, you can't judge music with 
your eyes or a waveform display.  IF you think there's still a spike 
there, and it's not just a weird glitch, use the FFT meter to confirm it. 
<<<

It was probably between 15 & 20. Smoothing the peaks, but not completely 
squashing the sound (maybe I should hop on the bandwagon) 

>>>Please don't, over-compressed music is not a good thing, regardless of 
how many people are doing it. Drives me nuts hearing music squashed to 
shit...<<<

I burned to cd put in an internet connected computer and uploaded to 
soundclick. Sounded fine, until I compared with others on the charts and 
most of them sound 2-3 times louder as in I have to adjust the volume to 
~30%.

>>>Probably a lot of people are using things like Finalizers or other 
peak-limiters to get a higher RMS level, which is different from the peak 
level. Normalizing only goes off of the peak level.  <<<

I have also been informed that a little work with the normalization in 
wavelab should allow me to maximize the 
recording without clipping or continous trial and error.

>>>Normalizing is something that takes place after the fact (recording), 
so it's not going to help you with that at all IMVHO. I do a lot of post 
work lately, so if you have questions about "Mastering", please let me 
know and maybe I can help.<<<
