In WaveLab (a flagship audio editor) you would put a limiter plug-in
across the output while you were doing this sort of editing, to bring
the low levels up by perhaps 40dB but protecting your ears and speakers
from the high levels.
Plug-ins come to the rescue again for automatically finding the ends of
fades buried in noise: insert a de-noising plug-in (probably just FFT-
based spectral subtraction) in front of your threshold detector.
Paul.
