Hello Alessio. I had nice results using http://normalize.nongnu.org/
I used to let Rivendell normalize at -13 peak levels and them just compute levels with this command line tool (-n option) and then apply the desired gain to the cut at the event markers screen. Unhappily Rivendell only uses integer numbers when applying gain to a cut (play level in fact). If you set a number like 3,7 it will turn to 3 when you save it. I have read about some tools using a r128 library, but I still haven't tried. Hey Cowboy, really nice explanation about levels, congratulations boy!
