I compose in Logic Pro 8 but when i track vocals i use Pro Tools. I have noticed that the metering in the two programs is a bit different and it might just be me but it seem A LOT easier to clip in Logic. Anyone notice the difference as well?
 
Well, your probably clipping in both if you don't know why it's reading different. Virtual instruments come through at close to 0dbFS and vocals come through at -18dbFS so if you are anywhere near the yellow in ProTools when tracking vocals you are clipping already. Read my post on gainstaging in the recording, mixing, mastering section.
