Podcast help with Loudness Normalization

[Trebor]

@foofighter

is there another method I can use

Free “Broadcast” plugin, works in Audacity, (can also de-ess at the same time).

Free (v3) ToneBooster's plugins

This “broadcast” multi-band compressor/limiter is good & loud. (identical to the 32-bit Jeroen Breebaart version, apart from the color: brown rather than blue) [TB_Broadcast_v3 in Audacity 3-1-3 on Windows 8.gif] Some of the controls are unusual: you’ll need the manual (attached). manual_broadcast.pdf (138 KB)

Free old standalone software … Levelator - Wikipedia (simple to use: no controls, drag’n’drop).
