Is there a way to audio balance the max gain on all of my 60TB+ library?
I keep getting my ears blown out because of sonarr downloading quiet rips. How can I fix this? Plex doesn't seem to have any settings to do it.

Look up ReplayGain. It analyzes and then adds metadata about the peak gains of each file, to the file, without the need to re-encode anything. Foobar2k natively supports it. Hopefully Plex also has support for ReplayGain.
VLC also supports ReplayGain information, and you can set default ReplayGain value on Android, and likely on the desktop one as well.
However to create ReplayGain you need Musicbrainz Picard or the ReplayGain Scanner function of FB2K.
This is the first thing I thought of. ReplayGain has been how this has been done for decades. It doesn't need to reencode the file, which will reduce quality, and there are programs that will scan folders to calculate the gain for each file. Other options suggested that reencode seem unnecessary and inferior.
