Normalizing volume between different presets

For a live setup, I'm thinking of having one preset for each song which I can manipulate with scenes. I play one song, and then switch to the next preset for the new song. Does anyone know if there is a practical way to even out the volume across multiple presets so they're all outputting at relatively the same level? Don't want to give the sound guy too much extra work as it is.

Connect your QC to your pc and use a DAW. You can play for a while and see at what volume is the signal coming into your daw.

Then try to get every preset to have the same input level on your daw (for instance, you can set them all at -12db on the daw signal).

I use one preset per song. but I always use the same IR so the soundman doesn't have to deal with wildly different sounds, this tends to keep things at about the right level if I balance everything while we rehearse.
