Thanks, DCBullet. I'm not too sure; I'll have to check it out. I honestly have rudimentary skills with Sound Forge and just slightly better skills with Wavelab. But there are a myriad of features with which I'm not yet familiar.

As far as using the volume knob, I've heard that argument before and am well acquainted with the "normalizing is bad" argument and whatnot. And if there were more than one peak hitting at just below 0, I would agree. But it's just the opposite. Why should the integrity of the whole show suffer for one peak? There's no reason to leave the extra headroom in there if there aren't any peaks to utilize it.
