3. Open Track1.wav and reduce the gain of its audio by 77.5%
That will increase the quantization noise by approximately 13 dB.
This is a bad idea.
It is also a bad idea to attempt to "help" the codec compress your
music by this step (which I believe is your goal). A lot of smart
folks have spent a lot of time determining how to best compress two
stereo tracks and I doubt your scheme can do better.
