Anybody know how to fix audio for a VHS rip for AudioDirector 7

Hey gang,
(First let me say that I'm trying to get used to the new layout of the Cyberlink forum, so bear with me please as I do this)
A friend of mine did a VHS rip of an old copy of the Terminator and she wants to show it for old school movie night (mainly because it has the old mono track to it before everything got digitized for streaming or had blu ray and 4k makeovers). Like me, she doesn't like the new sound effects that some distributors have done for the Terminator film.
So we have the copy now, but unfortunately, in the words of Huey Lewis to Marty McFly in Back to the Future, 'I'm afraid it's just too darn loud'. Apparently when the rip was done, it made the decibel levels go right through the roof and we're trying to correct this on AudioDirector 7 so it's not blowing everyone's eardrums out (that and we want to do something about the decibel levels of the voices).
Below is a screencap of what the current audio level of the VHS looks like.
If anybody has any pointers on what we can do to correct this problem, please by all means, we implore you to share your wisdom and or knowledge on audio correction.

Just hover your mouse over the master volume line below the main window, and then click and drag your mouse down. This will lower the volume for the entire movie. See attached.
You may want to run it through clipping removal afterwards if the audio sounds weird to restore any clipped audio.

Jets 2011 Okay, we'll try that out. Should we try and lower anything down in the 'Dynamic Range Control' underneath the Audio Effects for editing?

Jets 2011 Thank you again, Jets. Do you have any other suggestions and recommendations for correcting audio when it's too loud, like for using the 'dynamic range control' tool?
