Hi Drake,
The important thing to realise is that “Normalize” (or Normalise in my country) is just a visual thing when it comes to these curves.
I think Beorn mentions how he changes it to radians rather than degrees, which is kind of like a semi-normalisation.
It all comes down to how you like to work. Try it out for a while and see if you prefer one way over another.
I prefer to stick with degrees because it makes sense to my brain and I don’t normalise because it visually changes the slope (which can throw me off when I’m looking for a spot where the curves are moving too much and I want to adjust)
This does mean extra zooming around in the GE though.
But that is my preference. It’s encouraged that you find your preference 😉
