I have an audio background, so this may be easier for me,
but using a good pair of monitor speakers and a standard
playback level, I find it easy to set levels anywhere in
a project for appropriate level, with a little experience.
BTW, "normalizing" or other fixed peak level setting
methods may not result in pleasantly even-sounding levels...
(and of course you must never exceed clipping level in DV,
but if desired, you can compress peaks manually or with
processing so that you can raise average levels).
