If it's a theatrical presentation, you might make use of Chris's Compressor. Chris's Compressor http://pdf23ds.net/software/dynamic-compressor/ Chris designed his compressor to be musical. It makes the shows louder and suppresses volume variations within the show. It works so well you can forget you...
