Please try and export the file, and look at it in another app.
The test is this:
* Begin with a non-normalized clip (preferably one recorded with too low
gain so the difference is more visible).
* Export the song with normalize checkbox enabled.
* Normalize the clip < N > and export the song with normalize checkbox
disabled.

Now, these two exported files should be exactly the same gain, right?
But looking at them in another editor (or importing them in traverso
perhaps) shows they have different gain. At least here!
