Man I'm not trying to criticise this pink noise thing but I will be crazy if I start using that way. Why not mix in mono? Anything you balance in mono translate in stereo perfectly. Plus on your way you can be able to detect phase issue one instrument masking another one e.t.c

Select the regions you want to set, right click the selection and in the popup menu do "Selected Regions -> Gain -> Normalise". You can then adjust to a peak or rms level with the target per region or across the selection. It's non destructive as it doesn't alter the source data, it just adjusts the region gains.
I played with RMS normalize several weeks ago and found it to not really be much of use as it is now. It also takes areas into the calculation where there is nothing being played at all - so more empty/silent/quiet space in regions results in higher region boost.
I chatted with Robin about that and we had some ideas to improve the situation, but there is only so much time in a day... So I guess it will take a little more (probably after MB4 release) until this will be adressed.
