Normalizing separate tracks before mastering

Hi all, I was wondering about your thoughts on normalizing certain tracks before mastering. What I mean is, though I have some of the equipment, I'm certainly not going to be mastering myself. I don't even want to learn that badly. Really I want to send all my mixes to a professional mastering studio who know what they're doing.

Normalizing

Hi,

I could use a little enlightenment...

Since I first set up camp all I heard was compression and limiting. I've struggled with that forever. Finally I ran into an audio engineer who explained the peaks and valleys of audio wave forms, etc. He suggested bagging compression and limiting and just using normalizing. I did and it worked like a charm.
