Consistent Audio Levels Across Tracks (image included)

[GoldenRetriever1893]

I am editing many audio recordings to help people heal. Many, like the image below, are rather quiet on average and they sound fine when you turn up your volume all the way. How do I wisely turn up the volume and have all the various audio files generally be around the same average volume?

I know I could manually increase volume for the entire track using the heads-up display, or drag up the yellow level line. But is there a more professional way to do this and keep the resulting audio levels consistent across tracks?

Thank you!

Well there is nothing wrong with turning up the level using the track Head up display or the volume envelope or even the Track level control. To be able to make the most of any digital distribution system then, yes, you do need to have better audio levels. You should be able to turn up the level to get peaks of around -3dBFS on Auditions meters. One tool that might help is to use the Normalise effect from within Audition to bring all your peak levels up to that.There is already a Normalize to -3dB preset in the Favorites menu.
