Just tried the Norah Jones song (Wish I could) in Soundforge. It analyses the peak value as -0.216dB which then normalizes correctly to 0dB. Reaper also plays this file back with the correct original peak but over-normalizes by increasing the levels upwards by 0.51dB. It just doesn't make sense! Reaper must be interpreting the peaks wrongly...

And I still don't see any explanation as to why recording with a mic would also cause these problems, unless my parents soundcard which no doubt records at max 16-bit is causing problems in a 24-bit project file (although I think i remember trying 16-bit project too).

Well, I hope with others experiencing the same, we can get to the bottom of this bug.
