i am afraid producer does not include normalization, even though this would have been possible with 2-pass encoding. Considering how you can now (or very soon) use AC3 tracks as audio source for producer, normalization would have been useful. However, I do suspect the variation in the gain found by for instance Besweet's normalization feature, is not too great, and based on some experiments, you can use about the same 'dB' number for the audio gain in producer all the time, withou actual normalization. Producer includes a very high quality limiter, in case your gain is a little too high, so this should be no problem, rather an advantage.
