Setting uniform audio levels for imported music

Hi all,

I've recently completed my first project using PD9 and have been very impressed overall. One annoyance is a lack of VU meter to help ensure uniform sound levels for the final production. I imported several music files (mp3) to include in the project. As ever, the original recording levels differ between the songs. I tried to adjust the volumes by ear as best as possible but the sound levels on the completed DVD playback does differ. At one point the music overpowers the voices on the original video recording at a point where I wanted them audible (the voices were audible when I was setting the sound levels during the editing stage).

I have referred to the manual, looked on this forum and googled the topic, but couldn't find any specific reference.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks.

Scroll down to the Digital Level Meter. It works very well.
