I have a number of mono tracks (speech) that I would like to amplify as much as possible without clipping. The problem is, if I use the Amplify function in 1.3.6, the program apparently looks at the highest peak from all these files amd amplifies them all accordingly, so it will not amplify all tracks as much as they could if I manually selected each track and applied amplifying. How could I do this automatically?
What perfect timing

Faaan-tastic! You probably saved many hours of my life, thanks!
