MessageKevin,

I agree that the compressor is likely going to help you the most. Just apply 
the Sonotus multiband compressor to the output bus. Select from the various 
presets and listen until you find one you like. I suggest setting a loop that 
contains both a soft and loud passage, and keep repeating it while you change 
the presets.

Dave

  I don't know how to automate it.  I thought I had some automation that  I 
could remove. but I can't find any in the event list.  
  There's no way I can find the exact place where the voice volume decreases 
and create the kind of automation event that would directly compensate for 
that.  
  I tried Normalizing without luck.  Wouldn't know how to use a compressor for 
this.
  Advice?
  Kevin

    You don't understand.  The volume is not consistent through the track.  I 
have different volume levels through the track and I need the volume of this 
vocal to stay the same.  Moving the gain is not the way to go.

      Use the gain feature in sonar I use it all the time and its very useful.

       

       

      May the peace  of God which passes all understanding gard your heart and 
mind in Christ Jesus.

      God bless you!

      Guys,

          I have a comp vocal track that I made from two other tracks.  I did 
it by choosing one track and moving the slices I needed from the other to that 
track.  Then I bounced the finished track to a new track.  I notice that there 
are some volume irregularities where the volume pulls back.  I don't see any 
automation that I can strip out.  I tried normalizing the comp track and didn't 
notice any change.  What can I do in Sonar, I don't own Sound Forge, to make 
the volume of this track uniform throughout?  

      Kevin
