I tried to find the quietest track by going to View>Mixer Board and selecting all the tracks and playing them simultaneously. With the volume off - sounded nicer that way. Then I looked at the peaks registered on the meters If you normalized the tracks, then they will all have the same maximum peak...

This happened as I blundered around trying to learn the program. How do I reverse it? Looks like you have "scrolled" over the track's vertical ruler. It can happen quite easily by accident if you have a mouse with a scroll wheel (or equivalent). See here for the scroll / zoom gestures: ht...
