Yup... use envelopes in a DAW or process the tracks with volume to get them up..... or down. You can do this to the final mixed tracks just as, if not easier than in a multitrack format.

Sometimes, Normalize will do this nicely. But yeah, you need to play them back to back to be sure they are about the same levels. I also like to use the dB up or down function in Sonar.... I can go up or down by 1,2,3,or 6dB at a shot. Really handy tool to use.

As you become more proficient with recording, your tracks should naturally all start being very close to the same levels.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
