ok, i'll try [limiter~] ...that might work.
at the moment i am using [*~] ...but that requires manual adjustments. i'm looking for a more 'automatic' way so that i can get things balanced on the fly, in a live setting.
is there anything that will detect the 'loudness' or 'density' of the sound? i have everything normalised already, but some things just sound a lot louder than others.
it'll cost me dearly in cpu power, but what about using an ftt
process ???
