Interesting. How about normalizing and then reducing the volume by 3db?
Normalizing is non-destructive (as far as I know). In addition, an increase
of a multiple of 3db is also non-destructive as long as you are increasing
volume. That's because a 3db increase is exactly twice the power as 0 db so
you are multiplying by a whole integer rather than by a fraction. Decreasing
by a multiple of 3db will only affect what you normally could not hear
anyway and is still an integer math operation.

Yes. I agree. But I've run into a bug where I get 30 seconds of silence at
the beginning of my bounced file and 30 seconds of the tail of the bounce is
clipped. Anyone else had this problem and know of a workaround?

I love Logics editing abilities in general. That's really why I'm using
Logic instead of Cubase.
