Re: wheres the volume?
Select the portion of audio you want to make louder (CTRL+A will select the whole project) - and the use Effect > Amplify
I would advise caution in using the alternative Normalize effect as that acts on both stereo channels independently and can thus destry the stereo balance and thus the stereo image.
More subtle control of amplification can be achieved with the envelope tool. You can use this tool to vary the volume level at different parts of the recording. The Envelope tool is the icon with two white triangles pointing to a little white dot with a blue line passing through. With this tool selected you can set the litlle white dots at various points and move them (and the associated blue lines up and down - the blue lines control the volume at that point in the recording.
