I want to painlessly double the volume of and cut up audio files, for free on Windows 10 and/or Ubuntu.
Audacity does the latter, but I'm overwhelmed attempting the first.

A nice, free, lightweight audio editor that is not audacity is Wavosaur. It allows you to cut, move, and edit the volume of audio files. Cutting is simply done using standard cut/copy/paste commands, and volume is done via the process menu.
Best of all, the largest version is only just over a megabyte!

should double the volume. IMHO,Effects / Normalize
does a better job since you typically cannot rely on an starting volume. Normalize defines the output volume instead of acting on the input volume. – Thomas Weller Aug 28 '15 at 14:08
