Best way to edit audio inside Sonar Pro

I've got several vocal tracks that were recorded on separate days with very different recording levels all on one track.  I used to be able to edit the audio inside Sonar, choosing +/- dBs, or normalize or even edit them inside Adobe Audition.  I don't see that options anymore so I'm unsure what the best method is to deal with the difference in volume on one track.  
 
I know I could do an automated volume control, a plugin or should I break these up into separate tracks or is there a better option?

I'd just break the sections into clips, and normalize peaks (Process > Apply Effect > Audio Effects) to a common level. This will get them close, and then you can fine-tune with automation, or of the average levels are off, apply a little bit of limiting to the clips with low average levels.

I'd select all clips and normalize them to.. maybe -3dB via the process menu. Any clips being too loud after this I'd use the clip volume envelope to reduce the volume of these.

I wouldn't split them up to different tracks. If they don't overlap I see no reason why. Since the idea (I presume) was to make them sound like the same recording, you'd have to send all tacks to a bus or create an aux track for processing it all the same. I also think I'd get annoyed by all the extra channels. But that's just my thought.. Everyone likes different workflows.

Hi Heinz,
We have an area in the Software forum (the first thread, called a sticky) http://forum.cakewalk.com...tilities-m3392713.aspx for sharing all sorts of useful information, programs etc that have been created by the forum members.

I'd like to do that with your AutoHotKey script, if that's Ok?

I keep the track as one, To me having more than one track for the same instrument or vox is messy and takes up screen space. 
And first choice for me is to use Scook's utility and add a wave editor to the TOOLS menu. 
You can use Sonars normalization but I find using Wave lab much faster. The reason being with Sonar ( and many wave editors) you have to keep re-opening the Process you wish to use over and over. With Wave Lab you open the Normalize or Gain process GUI , make a setting and it stays open until you close it. So easy to apply the same process multiple times. 
 
I like Bassmans trick and will try that and see if it is faster. I just hate the way you have to use all those clicks to re do the same task in Sonar. 
In Wave lab you can open that whole track even if it was a bunch of different clips, just highlight the entire track. If you zoom to the perfect size you will "SEE" the volume differences. I have often treated vocal tracks using the visual to look for peaks and low spots, While I'm in there I also silence breathing and any artifacts. If you get good at this you will have an almost perfect vocal track that may not even need much in the way of further processing to cut though a mix. 
Some singers can't project low notes so they need a boost, working with applied gain works for me. I only use Volume envelopes when I'm feeling lazy :) 

I think he is offering to put your idea in a Sticky thread so people will see it. It's a great tip..
