Abstract
During audio mixing and mastering, particularly when using equalization and compression, manually matching the perceived volume levels before and after plugin processing is a critical yet time-consuming task. This manual process involves repeatedly analyzing audio segments to ensure volume stability, which is crucial for a balanced mix. This project aims to automate this volume matching process. The proposed solution is a Reaper Lua script (potentially incorporating JSFX for analysis) that reads both the input and output audio levels of a track or effect chain. It will then automatically balance the output audio's loudness to match the input, offering the user choices for the measurement standard, such as LUFS, RMS, or peak dB, thus ensuring efficient and accurate gain staging
