In copying non-studio produced music (what it is is fairly well recorded church services with good music) from tapes, the average dB level I get might be around -10, but I get many spikes of the louder voices or instruments that go to around -1 to -3. Is there an easy way to tell CE2000 to look for parts of the waveform in the -1 to -3 range and reduce them by, say 6 dB, all at once? I've been editing them all individually and it gets to be pretty tedious and time consuming. Thanks anyone.

Hi Cal. The best thing for you to do would be to try using one of the Compressor/Limiter presets to even out the dynamics of your file. From within Cool Edit, go to Transform>Amplitude>Dynamics Processing and try one of the first two presets, 2:1 Compressor <20dB, 3:1 Compressor <10dB. These just might do the trick. You may also audition some of the other presets or create your own...You may try employing a slightly larger compression ratio if you are actually trying to squeeze the peaks down by 6dB.
