[RWP] How to equalize volume/DB on a track.

[Chris Belle]

Just for the record in reaper's defense,
concerning the fake slice and dice automation most of us use when doing 
stuff like this with this little daw, it's really nice to be able to go 
back and change your settings if you decide you don't like what you did.

I tend to use snapshot automation even in sonar because you can get way 
more precise
getting between words and making everything perfect, where as with a 
control surface it's easier to do broad strokes and long fades and things.

Most of what I do is detail work, bring up the last part of a quite 
syllable or cutting down a loud word, or even de-essing dynamically,
uping a guitar lick, you get the idea.

So if you like this sort approach to automation,
and you can control how your cross fades operate, then reaper shines in 
this regard.

Most of the time I can avoid working directly on audio like this in 
sonar, but when I need to lay audio on the work bench and do some 
sawing, then I go for soundforge or reaper.
