[MLA] Apple seems to have turned Soundcheck ON by default...

[Bob Katz]

Ian, in your copious free time you should capture both ways. If you 
detect anything other than just a gain shift, then we should alert Buddy 
and maybe he can get that changed.

And in fact, if you can give me links to that choral music I'd like to 
check it and measure it.
