Yes, that could be very useful. And given the histogram you could program an ad-hoc dynamics processor to tune a recording into whatever is required. That's just an example of something more general: non-RT processing is much more powerfull than RT. That goes for things like pitch correction as well. Ciao, -- FA O tu, che porte, correndo si ?
