Boosting the Level of Small Sections

Sometimes podcast guests mumble or trail off at the end of sentences, etc.

At times they speak so softly that the listener will have trouble hearing those parts.

Using compression helps raise the level of these sections in relation to the loud and normal  parts.

But sometimes you have to go caveman and manually boost the level of particularly quiet parts. Basically you highlight the quiet section in your software and boost it like 4, 8, or 12 dB etc.

One thing to be careful of: Boosting it too much making it sound too unnatural.
