> Is there a way to tweak the normalize gain manually?
short answer no, not at the moment.
longer answer:
There are 5 different layers operating on gain in ardour at the moment:
1)the normalization gain
2)the region gain envelope
3)the fade-ins and fade -outs
4)the crossfades
and finally
5)the track/bus gain stage
plus of course any plugins you might want to add to that.
Since 2-5 all can bring down the level, but have a limited "boost" range,
a sound that is too loud is less of a problem than a sound that is too
soft.
For the case where a normalized region is too loud I would adjust the
region gain envelope.
Or use the gain automation in the track/bus
Or use a compressor plugin
Depending on the situation.
A couple of useful features that I would like too see eventually are
-group-normalize
-an indication of the normalization gain plus settable target in the
popup region-editor.
These will probably not appear untill we are at ardour V2.
