Hi Ismael, Sounds like you want to increase the 'loudness' without increasing the peak of the waves beyond their maximum. I am definately no expert in audio but when I want to make drums sound louder without increasing their overall waveform amplitude, I use a Puredata patch to do waveshaping. This distorts the waveform, stretching it upwards so that there is more power/energy under the wave but the peaks of the wave are the same. I think that this is actually a form of compression, but as I said, I'm no expert. Chris.
