Decreasing loudness, increasing softness
Decreasing loudness, increasing softness
Lets say someone says "A" loudly, but then "B" softly. Is there a way to bring the volume of "B" up a little, and "A" down?

Yes, this is called dynamic compression. Compression makes the loud parts quieter and/or the quiet parts louder. This is a reduction (compresion) of dynamic range... less difference between the quiet parts and the loud parts.
Effect->Compression/Expansion.
Note: Some of the settings
in the compression/expansion window are screwy... Sometimes you use "expansion" to compress the dynamic range.
There is also an extra-cost plug-in called GW Voice. It has an Auto Gain feature, which might be exactly what you are looking for. (Automatic Gain Control, or Automatic Volume Control are types of compression.)
GoldWave does not have a "Normalize" function. Normalization usually means Maximize (set the volume so the peaks are 0dB), although I have seen it used to mean Automatic Gain Control. (GoldWave does have a Maximize function.)
