Both Audacity and Ardour have a normalization function which will let you
amplify a track (or selection) to some selectable level. It's quite handy.

So, I could
mix to -6db in Ardour and still use most of the headroom on
a CD? Is there any advantage to keeping your peak level that low on the
master in the digital world? Or, put another way, if I *could* get the
whole track to behave itself and not go above -1db at loudest peak, is
there a reason not to?
I do not know if there is something in ardour to do this, but if you
import the final wav file into Audacity, it is very easy. Once you have
imported the track, there is an "Effect" dropdown menu and the first
effect is called amplify. If you select that, the default amplification
will be the amount needed to set the highest peek to 0db.
