how to deal with clips and normalizing in general?

Hey folks,
i am trying to normalize a few tracks i made a while ago. I am messing around with mp3gain - which probably isnt best practice.

I wasn't getting the results I wanted, so i exported waveforms to see whats going on.

So... it looks like i have a little bit of clipping going on ^^
I understand how and why a clip ruins any chance of normalizing - when doing it by peak-value.

I guess I could drop every file into Live, and try to analyse further and then filter/eq the the artifacts out...
but this would take quite a while..

can you suggest anything else?
thank you very much
