APU Loudness Leveler is a real-time volume leveler/rider designed to keep audio within your target loudness range in real-time. Set a target loudness, choose a tolerance, and the leveler continuously applies gain correction to keep dialog, vocals, podcasts, streams, or program material hovering around the level you want.
The Leveler is designed to be "set it and forget it" for real-time loudness control. Configurable timing modes cover fast momentary riding, slower short-term correction, and a traditional RMS mode.
Guard modes, sidechain control, predictive low-latency operation, detector EQ, and built-in limiting provide plenty of tools to keep the leveler working smoothly in a wide range of real-world scenarios.
The built-in guard mode is especially useful for keeping the leveler from boosting into tails or cutting into transients, while the low-level handling modes can keep it from overreacting to noise and ambience when the source gets quiet..

I've been waiting ages for a plugin with such extensive loudness correction options.
I might end up using this plugin in situations other than those for which it was originally intended.
Now I don't need to resort to all sorts of workarounds to protect my ears.
