Normalization is not the same as boosting the overall volume. Normalization loses the dynamics as it's more akin to dynamic compression. Digitally boosting these tracks with 12dB as proposed will lift everything by these same 12dB, ending up at ±-3dB absolute for the loudest peaks and (-3dB - the difference between loudest and quietest) for the quietest parts. Think of it as just turning the volume knob on your amplifier. It does seem strange to me however that RG doesn't work when your volume is fixed at 100. I've been using RG on all my files for years and never once had this issue on any client with this setting in effect. I thought that this was done server-side befor sending out to the client ...
