This plugin automatically boosts and cuts the level of a track to target a level that you specify. This is really handy for automatically boosting the parts of someone’s track when they start mumbling under their breath and become way too quiet, as well as automatically reducing the volume when someone laughs or yells way too loud, etc.
I use this plugin on almost every voice on every podcast episode I produce.
And it frequently goes on sale for $29 so keep a lookout 😉

Yep. I endorse Leveller. Ir’s a lot easier than fader surfing
Agreed! I think it was your recommendation that pushed me over the edge on this plugin and I use it on nearly every voice track at the end of the chain (I had a good teacher).
I’ve also tried the Accusonus Leveler but found it to be much more heavy-handed. So…if I need a sledgehammer I look at the Accusonus – and more from an audio restoration standpoint.
But if it’s already pretty good, the Vocal Rider is my preferred tool.
I have a co-host that has a dynamic range. His mic technique is not always consistent. His louds and lows are enough that vocal rider levels them out. I have to be careful to prevent a pumping effect. I don’t use it on everyone.
