Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Hey all,

Quite a few people have asked me about whether or not it's ok to normalize 
their song files before converting them to MP3's.  Because some of our 
users are using their XX-7's in a strictly digital environment (ala the 
S/PDIF port), they made the case that since the digital out is so quiet 
compared to the analog outs, that loudness might be a negative factor 
affecting how people vote when the time comes.  I can see their point, and 
so I think that it will be ok if you want to normalize your sound files 
before you do the MP3 conversion.  Merely raising the digital signal will 
nothing that gives anyone an advantage, and only serves to level the 
playing field (pun intended).  If you have any questions, please feel free 
to ask here!
