rEalm,
No, the AW16G doesn't have a normalization feature, which is a shame. 
It has plenty of compressors/limiters, though, so I'm sure I could 
get the same results using those. I would rather just record a good, 
strong signal straight into it without using any dynamic processing. 
I'm always afraid that using dynamic processors will affect the sound 
of the track, even if it's very slight. I'll figure something 
out.....thanks for the reply!
