GNormal tries to remedy denormal problems by introducing extremely low-level noise to the signal path. (If you don’t know what that means, then you probably don’t need GNormal).
Some CPUs employ techniques to extend the accuracy of floating-point calculations involving very small numbers. These small numbers are called denormals.
Unfortunately, calculations involving denormals can be very slow, drastically affecting audio DSP performance; and in most cases the numbers involved are too small to be of any interest anyhow.
Adding noise to the signal path can prevent denormals from reaching subsequent calculations by keeping the signal level above the denormal range. The level of the noise added is so low that it is inaudible.
