What is a leveler in music?
An audio leveler performs an audio process similar to compression, which is used to reduce the dynamic range of a signal, so that the quietest portion of the signal is loud enough to hear and the loudest portion is not too loud.
How do you normalize in audacity?

Does normalizing audio affect quality?
Normalizing never affects sound quality. All it does is identify the digital bit in the track that has the highest value below 0 dBFS, calculate the difference between that value and 0 dBFS, then add that value to every sample.
What does compression do on an amplifier?
Compression is an automatic volume control. It turns down the volume when a signal becomes louder than a set level and turns it back up when the signal drops below that level. This happens much faster than one could possibly turn a volume control manually.
What is the difference between compressor and limiter?
The difference between a compressor and a limiter is only in the compression ratio used. A limiter is intended to limit the maximum level, normally to provide overload protection. A compressor is used for less drastic, more creative dynamic control, and tends to use lower ratios; typically 5:1 or less.
Why can’t I amplify in Audacity?
It is impossible to amplify those peaks any higher without causing distortion. To make the track sound louder, you need to reduce those peaks to that there is room to increase the average level. To do that, try the “Limiter” effect.
