Normalizing, which is a function that attempts to make your sound levels as hot as possible after the recording as been completed, forces the computer to requantize the audio data, and more often than not will damage your audio more than it will help, unless you're working at a bit depth of 24 bits or better. ALL CDs require a bit depth of 16, and therefore it is best to avoid normalization.
