Help (not Actually This Forum), Technical Options

This topic does not pertain to this forum but the outcome can so.....
Can someone tell me how to normalise volume within a track ie if the track has fluctuating volume how does one get the thing to one single volume?
An option in cool edit would help as that is the only thing I have at least 1% idea abt thanks to Talkzji. Or Goldwave maybe. I have a few songs that go that way--very irritating and frustrating.

Would someone please illuminate me on the topic of "resampling". I noticed, for example, an upload by sangeetbhakt having "resampled" in the tag.

What does resampling do in terms of improving sound quality? Any pointers on using this feature would be appreciated.

Thanks.

In one word, it does "nothing".

resampling can be downsampling or upsampling. In the former case, it just reduces the file size by lowering the bit rate (say, from 128 kbps to 64 kbps) and thus, decreasing the quality of the mp3.

In upsampling, it just bloats the size of the file without introducing anything new or better in it. If all you have is hay, you can only make a hay-stack out of it.
