Thanks Katja. I did not intend to imply a particular compression method.
I was only asking if anyone has created a compressor in Pd with the goal of limiting based on Average Loudness rather than Peak Gain. I don't really know how it works, except to guess it is related to Fletcher–Munson curves. I want to get into broadcast more. A LKFS or LUFS external (meter and compressor) would be very useful. Limiting based on Loudness is becoming both a US and EUR broadcast standard, yet there aren't many tools out there, it seems.
