So a typical seated 😈 show at the Fox. Music before amplifying has peaks around -6, but the audience peaks at 0. How do I compress those peaks before amplifying the music I’m Audacity.Thanks!
Envelope tool first.

I don't ever normalize, I limit.
Yup. Actually calling it makeup gain in the context of a limiter is kinda misleading. It’s just gain. Make up gain refers to post compression gain, where as limiter gain is pushing the track pre limiter, allowing it t hit the out ceiling at the desired rate
