This would be relatively easy to do in house at PG..... it would be time consuming and tedious..... but doable.

I've been aware of this for some time but it never really bothered me too much. I send all my tracks to Sonar and if they are too low, I normalize them in Sonar. Sometimes the ones that seem low even in Sonar are at the right levels for the final mix.... give or take.... and I always use volume envelopes.

I use normalize and have few issues with it.... the downside to normalizing every real band track to bring them up would be a mess if the track had a high noise floor in it. With normalize, everything in the track gets boosted at the same level....so any noise in there comes up the same as the low level music.

If the tracks in question have noise, they would need to be recorded again to resolve the noise issues then that becomes a much larger and more expensive task.
