If I convert stereo to mono in Audacity, parts where both left and right are played are much louder, while places with only left or right played, regular volume. CAn someone help me fix this. And no, turning down the volume won't help.

Im not so sure about this method as it depends on the volume of each audio file. If some of the volume is at say 5 dB and some at 10 dB, i dont think normalize would work evenly.
So, any other methods? (can be outside of audacity)
