Okay, when I put the sync tone on this, I set it to exactly the start of the track I uploaded from you, so when you convert it back to wav, if you'll line the tone with the very start, it should be perfectly synced with your original...

hmmm, when I mixed it down, I set it to mastering compression for a CD. If this is too hot for you, I can drop it back.

I does look a little bit hot there alright - but don't hear any clipping:)) This is just fine for a review - SOUNDS GOOD!

(are you sure you didn't bump your master control?) lol.

Nope, it's the plug-in Classic Mastering Limiter (vst), and it's set to CD Mastering. I'll generally use that and a mixdown compression which drops a few levels off the decibels...

Well it may be normalizing at a 0 point that just shows up hot here, but in the real world this has been the norm for the CD mastering thing, although currently there is some debate about the "hot wars". In the old days you would run hot in post because of what was called "saturation" which was an aspect of the analog tape recording issues. In the digital world this isn't supposed to be necessary. But, one thing is for sure - when you are doing your CD master all of the songs need to be at some kind of consistent level:)
