We can correct this fault by using the Normalize effect with "Remove any DC offset" selected. In Figure 1 you can see that the upper track is not centerd on the horizontal line, but above it. A minimal amount of offset is very common, but large amounts (such as in Figure 1 below) should not normally happen. If DC offset is present, you should always use DC offset correction. Using Normalize with DC offset correction

If the DC offset correction in Normalize is not applied, each of these methods will do exactly the same thing and the resulting audio will be identical. With a -6 dB track, Amplify will always default to the above "Amplification (dB)" and "New Peak Amplitude (dB)" values, because it always defaults to amplifying to 0.0 dB.
