I made a lite version of Loudness Normalizer RE and it is now in the Shop for free until the end of May:

Integrated Loudness and Loudness Range were removed, compared to Loudness Normalizer RE. The new RE is meant to be used in mix channels to normalize peak or loudness level, manually or automatically, whereas Loudness Normalizer is for exporting master audio.

No manual yet, sorry, but you can watch YT videos on the Loudness Normalizer product page to learn how it works.

Yeah, thanks. And a real pleasure to find it's not just another Combi 2 so I can actually use it in R11 and in the RRP.

Hi, thanks for the handy tool.
I use Loudness Normalizer RE with pleasure.
Unfortunately, I did not find contact information for support. It is impossible to leave questions or wishes in telegrams. I had to register here.

I started using the Mini Normalizer and noticed two options that I needed.

1. I hit Reset Statistics very often to collect values to match the processing levels (for example, for overdrive, I increase the gain a lot, and then I can decrease it a lot, and the plugin needs to be restarted). I think that in this case the option Reset Statistics W/Seq would be convenient - to reset statistics each time the sequencer is started.

2. Is it possible to increase the gain level (for example +-48db) so as not to run two Mini Normalizers in series?

Good idea. Though I've run out of free space on the front panel. I'll think what I can do with that.
In the meantime, you could draw a pulse on the automation lane for the Reset button at the start of the clip you loop over.

The gain range of ±24dB is already too high by the standards. Selig Gain has ±24, too. I had a bad experience of making a gain knob with ±60dB range (on compressor output), when it resulted in loss of resolution.
Anyway, it can no longer be changed once the device is released.

Yes, I did. But I thought that it could be easier with self-management.

I also thought that it was possible to make a CV-in for Reset Statistics. Then it would be possible to connect all instances to one source and reset all copies of the Mini Normalizer RE with one command. When there are a lot of them, there is an inconvenience with their frequent reset.

Thanks a lot for the update!
Now I don't have to do a manual reset.
A very useful utility to forget about the volume control.
