I'm searching a free or at least cheep (50€ max) vst plugin that can detect a rms/peak level and hold this level for any given input level. Something like the auto level function for hofa a/b compare, but as a insert and in realtime.
I need some kind of automatic leveling to compare compressor settings at the same volume. So far I have not found too much much that really worked. Until now I do it manually, but I would like to enhance my workflow a bit.
Any idea or experiance with something?
VST to hold or auto level a RMS/Peak value to compare effects?

The download page is still there, tho. Perhaps try the demo?

I tried the demo. This is almost want I want. I only moss that you can set to compare also peak level (sometimes I want same peak, sometimes same RMS). The main problem is that I had already two crashed in ableton unfortunately. Not sure if this is the plugin. 
Also I can't find a way to set the reference level the incoming one in the reviver. I want exactly the loudness before my FX, not same fix value like -20dbfs. Investigating!
But I really like the A/B button to compare the processed uncompressed very fast

Yes I know its' above your budget but since Melda does 50% off drives every month I though it could get a pass.
However I have not spent much time with it so I cant say if it cover all your needs regarding Peak and so, but might be worth checking out.
A less advanced and more manual laboured way would be HoRNet VU or LU Meter where you can set desired RMS and Maximum Peak... (edit to clarify: It will choose the first one to reach your settings)

Thanks for the ideas guys.
The mCompare has some really nice feature, the blind compare is epic. I think melda is great quality stuff, but their guis look s really old school in a bad way I have to say.
ab_lm has also it's strength.

It never happend again after this. So I think it's not this plugin. I want want to spread bad rumors about this!The main problem is that I had already two crashed in ableton unfortunately. Not sure if this is the plugin.

Won't argue with that, but v11 is soon to be released and from what I have seen there will be improvement on the GUI. (You can probably find some beta screenshots in their forum)midi_transmission wrote:... but their guis look s really old school in a bad way I have to say.
Personally I went with commercial skin

About RMS/Peak options on level match, iirc TBPA's free dpmeter2 can do that manually with a single click. Make sure to read the manual before trying, to prevent volume overload.

If I understood the manual you have to choose either Max Peak or RMS with the single click.crimsonmerry wrote:About RMS/Peak options on level match, iirc TBPA's free dpmeter2 can do that manually with a single click. Make sure to read the manual before trying, to prevent volume overload.
"By clicking on measurement descriptions the current
value with be matched with the
reference level. " - from the Manual
So I just wanted to make my earlier comment about HoRNet VU & LU Meter more clear. The autogain function is not either RMS or Peak, it's both.
It will choose the first one to hit/reach your settings which will be depending on the material.
