Good point. I don't always normalize my vocals, but have done it maybe 50%
of the time. I can now see that probably isn't a good idea.

I'm glad I posted the things I like about Logic. I've already learned a few
things I didn't know. One of them being that there are three user definable
arrange window presets instead of two. I can't for the life of me figure out
how I missed that third one. It is right next to the other two. <grin>
