Audio leveler

An audio leveler performs an audio process similar to compression, which is used to reduce the dynamic range of a signal, so that the quietest portion of the signal is loud enough to hear and the loudest portion is not too loud.

For the August Burns Red album, see Leveler (album).
For other uses, see Levellers (disambiguation).

Levelers work especially well with vocals, as there are huge dynamic differences in the human voice and levelers work in such a way as to sound very natural, letting the character of the sound change with the different levels but still maintaining a predictable and usable dynamic range.

A leveler is different from a compressor in that the ratio and threshold are controlled with a single control.
