I've had that Idea forever. I actually suggested this to a couple plug-in designers. I really need to learn to program these things, haha.
I had the idea for something like this as well. Seems like it should be possible to do it these days. Something that literally just turns the volume up and down as opposed to doing what a compressor does. On top of that it`d be cool if you could adjust it so it wasn`t so rigid in keeping everything to an exact decibal level because that tends to sound very unnatural very quick. Maybe just bring the loud stuff down a couple db and the quiet stuff up. Could be neat.


I still think these plugs have to be a joke though and Roger seems to have the type of personality to go through that amount of effort to get a laugh.

If they are real I think the graphics would be kind of cool actually instead of the typical plug that has way better graphics than sound. Who gives a shit what a plug looks like on a computer screen.
