...would it be possible to allow for a variable length sample period when using the "auto-set limits by analyzer?" Somewhat akin to the sample period in MAutoAlign...say from the current "snapshot" to possibly the entire length of the song? I use MMBD on the 2bus as part of the "final" mix. One or two db on the entire mix really makes a difference...

ps...this might be useful on all of the MMBfx plugs as well...

Yes, it is determined by the analyzer, what you see is what you get. So change the averaging in the analyzer settings to be longer.

...yup, I was/am aware of that setting, however, 1000ms=1sec. is way "too" short for what I have in mind...like I said, maybe even possibly the entire length of the composition.../s~

I see, fair enough. You can increase the decay time, but I still dont think that's going to get what you want. I guess increasing the averaging time would be the easiest thing for Vojtech to do. The Manalyzer has a 5 sec averaging max, the multiband analyzer has 1 sec, maybe increasing to 5 min would be useful (with a logarthmic graph so all the resolution is at the lower end as usual).

Additional option would be the ability to save/load frequency profiles in the analysers (which could then be used by the auto-set)... which could be useful for people that want a reference frequency response to mix to too. The advantage of this is that you would only have to sit through the analysis phase once, rather than EVERY time you want to auto-set the bands.

...very much what I am thinking, on both points. This is a shift from focusing on a single composition to looking at the entire collection/(album?) A current project consists of 23/27 compositions created/recorded over a period of several years; all ITB. The initial assemblage revealed a very wide tonal/timbral difference that was not "acceptable." Soooooo.....

Hmmm, increasing maximum averaging would be possible, but isn't minimum decay enough? I mean it will essentially track maximum.

...increasing "decay" to 100% does in fact "stablize" the analysis, however holding peak will/should a very different analysis/result than using "power under the curve," which probably should be done as "power under the LUFS curve" in the way I'm using it currently, come to think of it.../s~
