1) Is there a good way to get a consistent volume level across multiple tracks? When you have words like "Attack!!", there will be some high amplitude peaks in the sound. When you have words like"Hello, stranger", the level will be much more even. When you use "Normalize&qu...

Audacity 1.3.5 does support VNR BUT there is a problem with it in 1.3.5 (the format that you select is not always the format that you get). It is always a good idea to keep a backup copy of your work as uncompressed WAV in case you ever want to do any more editing, or change the compression settings...
