Re: RMS Normalize
Audacity 2.4.2 has Loudness Normalization built in.
https://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/
This is the long version of the instructions.
https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Audiobook_Mastering
This is where to get ACX Check to test your work for ACX Compliance.

And this is about what it looks like when you succeed.
Fair warning, you still have to be able to read out load. ACX Check only simulates the technical test and you still have to pass the human theatrical test. We can't do that one in software.
