Great. trivially simple cases are those which are best left as exercise to the reader, right? :) There are plans to adding loundness normalization to Ardour. The first step was to add analysis (new in 3.7: https://ardour.org/images/post-export-analysis-4.7.png - BTW, under the hood this was implemented as re-usable VAMP plugin and is not limited to Ardour). Recent Ardour git versions also allows to analyze regions and ranges. This information can be already be used to apply some gain factor manually but currently cannot be automated. To automate it, we need a couple of config-settings in the Export Format Dialog, save/load the state and ensure backwards compatibility. Then do the same for region-gain and finally test it all. That'll keep someone buy for a week or three. If you want it all and now,.. well you know where to find the source-code.
