i'm looking for a vst that limits the volume output. let's say i'm playing
a song (in cubase) and experimenting with compressors, distortion plugs etc
and I want the max volume to have a cap. So when I make a change and it
would normally increase the volume it won't. This way I can really compare
apples with apples. If the plug increases the volume then it is often percieved
as better.
Limiters will limit the peaks but not the RMS values. So.....is there such
a thing? If so, I'd love to put it across the master bus and limit the volume
to a set level.
Thanks.
John

You could "kinda" do it automatically... just set the relative
volume levels to match, as you said, and then automate
the "bypass" function on the insert/plugin.
Sit back, listen, & enjoy your automated a/b.
