markg, we now have compressor/limitor and normalize code in our new Hoster program. Without first comp/limiting before normalizing, you will not obtain the results you want. Comp/limiting requires some audio knowledge and playing with to get it adjusted right.
Microstudio is a really clean program for general users, and many of them don't have a lot of technical savy. It would be wrong to add this complexity. Additionally, the support demands would be prohibitive!
However, we have discussed adding it into a program like our Keyrite, which can process a CDG file with graphics/lyrics.
We need to get Hoster released so we can breathe again...
the nose is just now starting to come above the water line.
