Your right. I was looking at it from the wrong angle. I knew there was a
well defined principal at use in the radio world.
So what the original poster wants is to add a compressor to the output
path for amarok or whatever audio track player is being used...
Jack-rack would probably do but surely someone has written a nice
compressor interface for sc4 by now?
I looked into it once but didn't have time to finish.
I was thinking of ripping out the compressor code in jamin. Also the
work that Jan did on the parametric eq would make a nice stand alone
interface.
Cheers.

that doesn't meet my understanding of the term "on the fly".
look, normalization is a simple process: find the loudest sample. get
the ratio of its value to the maximum possible sample value. multiply
every sample by this ratio. done. no shortcuts, but also no complexity.
what you seem to be after is a compressor, which will keep the level of
the output within some defined range. entirely different beastie.

Even if we are talking about a static collection of audio files?
Just out of interest how much processor power
would it take to normalise
on the fly?
it doesn't need a CPU, it would need a time machine to travel into
the
future to measure the loudest sample still to come.
