I wouldn't hesitate to try it out if I were you. Make a copy of the file you are going to try it on first if you have any worries but it doesn't modify the original file in any case, it creates a new modified file. The problem I had importing the file into Audacity was unrelated to my use of the Levelator. Mark,

I guess you're saying it doesn't work? I recall him saying it works with aiff and wav files. I assume you only tried it with aiff. I'm reluctant to try it out since I know the feeling you describe above when you think the recording of the great conversation you just had hasn't turned out for some reason. I guess a test conversation would be the way to go here. I listened to the podcast with Doug Kaye and was planning on trying his levelator. I guess you’re saying it doesn’t work?

I know but have not used audacity but I'm pretty sure you will find a normalise function that will set the average volume to a set level. If that doesn't work then look for besweet which is an open source app for sound editing. Besweet allows you to normalise and convert to a multitude of formats. You can probably find a whole lot more info over at doom9.net and their forums. Just a suggestion re the sound levels.
