ERA Voice Leveler
I haven’t tried this plugin yet but I watched the demo video and it looks really cool: https://accusonus.com/products/audio-repair/era-voice-leveler
And unfortunately I don’t know when I’ll have time to download the trial version and check it out.
If you happen to check out the trial version please let me know how you like it by commenting below.
For years I’ve been using a similar plugin from Waves called Vocal Rider. Though this ERA Voice leveler does seem to have more features than Vocal Rider.
These types of leveler plugins in general are extremely useful in podcast production to help even out massive level fluctuations due to the lack of microphone technique demonstrated by most podcast guests (and, sadly, many hosts!).

Is this a compressor/expander by another name?
-
Well, it does compress the dynamic range but in a different way than a compressor. And also, technically speaking it’s the opposite of an expander.

Given that a Compression “is an audio signal processing operation that reduces the volume of loud sounds or amplifies quiet sounds thus reducing or compressing an audio signal’s dynamic range.”, then couldn’t an automated fader rider be viewed as a type if compressor?
I know they are different, but it would be useful to understand where you would use one rather than another?

Hi Mike, I’m writing another post to answer your questions, but — questions for you!: Have you used both of these before? What has your experience been? What specific trouble have you had that you wish one of these could solve? Thanks, ~Chris

I’d use a Leveler when I want to smooth the general level of a track.
Think of it as a Compressor with a slow attack/release as the Leveler , generally, won’t catch those transient peaks too much.
What’s your view?

My view is coming in a future post because there are many aspects to this topic 😉

Looking forward to reading it
