Is there an easy way? (Mix-prep Gain setting)

Hello all!
Great forum we have here.
 
I need to know if there is a way to do this:
 
1) I receive tracks to mix.
2) I want the faders all to be at zero when the input is -18.
3) I play the song once through.
4) Then in "Console" view, for each track I adjust the Gain dial at the top of the individual track so that the input readings at the bottom of the faders will be -18 dBFS.
5) Repeat for each track. (Ouch)
 
It's not hard, but it takes a lot of time, especially with a lot of tracks.
 
Is there an easier way to do this?
Does Sonar have a "Make it so, Number One" button to press?
 
Thanks ahead of time for your help,
Ray (aka Oluon)

Maybe I'm not understanding the question correctly, but the easiest way to "automatically" gain stage your entire project is to select all tracks, then Normalize to -18.
 
Since you're normalizing the peak value some tracks with a lot of dynamic range or a few stray spikes will likely need to be adjusted with your gain knob so that they're averaging that -18 level you're shooting for, but doing a mass normalize is still quicker than manually adjusting the gain setting for each track.

Yeah, by default normalize is set to 0db, but it allows you to define the peak level.
