Loudness normaliser feature for Element

[JamieJ1]

Would you consider building a loudness normaliser feature/plugin for Element? So that regardless of the gain changes from your FX chain (compression, saturation, etc), the wet output signal from Element always remains the same perceived volume as the dry input signal of the plugin?
This would function similarly to the Hornet CLMS or TBProAudio’s ABLM. I’ve tested both these plugins extensively and unfortunately they are both very buggy in certain circumstances and not consistent enough to be useable.

I can take a look at doing this. Do you mean an automatic normalization of the output? @JamieJ1

Placing it on the output would be an option. But I think it would be better as a moveable plugin / module inside Element. This would mean you could place it at different stages of the signal chain inside Element.

So for example;
If a compressor you are using inside Element doesn’t have Auto Makeup Gain, you would place the loudness match module directly after the compressor so that any processing applied by the compressor doesn’t result in a gain change to the signal. BUT because this Autogain model is placed directly after the compressor, it doesn’t affect your EQ plugin you have placed after the compressor. Does that make sense?
