boosting volume
I’ve edited together a several of interview clips where one of the interviewees is soft spoken — resulting in low volume in contrast to the others. I set the master volume to 95% when I rendered the initial cut.
How can I best boost the volume of this one speaker in relationship to the “normal” volume of other speakers?

IMO, that should always stay at 100% as that’s your “reference” setting.

Apply a Volume Envelope (shortcut key is V) on the timeline and raise the volume for that specific clip.
You can try bringing his/her clip into Sound Forge (or whatever audio processing tool you have) and raise the overall volume of that speaker.
I’m sure other folks will offer more suggestions as well. -
You can also try using a compressor. The “Track Compressor” can be used to compress the audio sound to have a more even level and to also make it “sound” louder without it actually increasing the peak level.
