Fred said it! Normalizing is one of the final steps while mastering. In my case (I'm a poor homerecorder ) the normalizer is used as a part of burning master CDs. It sets the output level of all tracks at an average level (methode RMS = root-mean-square).
My Nero's burning ROM doesn't have a compressor/limiter filtering, so I have to compress and limit the recorded tracks before I burn them down on CD.
