Hi, Noel -

My understanding of the BIAB normalize function is that it doesn't set all the MIDI velocities to the same value, but instead normalizes each track "around" the specified value. So, if you tell it to normalize at 90, then instead of doing what a normal normalize does, which is to shove the peak value to the highest level and adjust everything else by that same amount, the BIAB normalize finds the middle and then centers everything around that for each track. So you will still have dynamics, but the overall level of the track will have been reduced (if it was too high to start with) or increased (if it was too low to start with). So, if all your songs are normalized at, say, 90, then they should have a consistent sound from song to song, but still retaining the dynamics within the song. You also have the option to include or exclude the melody/soloist tracks from the normalize option.
