Quoting Jonathan Gazeley <Jonathan.Gazeley(a)bristol.ac.uk>uk>:
In that case you might need to use some gain automation to raise the
solo voice instead of squashing the choir.
It's relatively easy to do that in Ardour.

* In most
cases peaks are very short, and a peak limiter will
remove them and allow 5 dB or more extra gain without any
perceptible artefacts. The best one for this is zita-dpl1
which was designed exactly for this type of use. I've used
it on all recordings I made the last years, without exception.
This sounds
helpful. I will experiment with this. It might not help
though, since in my case, the peaks are not normally too short. The
loudest parts are full choir and pipe organ, while the quietest parts
are solo voice.
