Re: Do you lose resolution by recording to HD first and "Normalizing" to 0dB later?

68.43.32.8

If you record so that after going back and inspecting the digital file there is only 4 or 5 dB of headroom between the highest peak level on the track and the 0dB max level, have you lost potential resolution?

Yes, 4 or 5 dB. Some loss is unavoidable, and (of course) is far preferable to clipping distortion.
