In general I felt really insecure about the whole sound quality/loudness yesterday :/ Maybe it was also because I was using a Split-Cable and not an controller/second interface!?
A half/whole beat gap would not cause wrong gain setting, the silence needs to be longer so maybe the issue lies somewhere else... also perhaps some tracks have been mastered+mixed differently (too much or too little bass, for example which causes unreliable auto gain results).
There's an easier way of finding problematic files by making a Smart list search, for example something like
"Gain is less than - 6 dB" which will then list those that fill the criteria. Experiment with different settings and see which tracks are listed.
