I am a broadcast electronics engineer: I write verilog FPGA’s and assembly language for microprocessors.

I disagree with the statement that ” no machine can normalize audio ”

I believe that an audio normal-izer can implemented in an FPGA or a micro processor.

You can state machine or code to make the same listening decisions that the human does.

So,, give me functional specifications

I would want to write a module that would learn normal when a button is pressed

sampling level over a period of time of course and learning two things:

normal peak max db
normal averaged audio level db

yes averaged

then monitor for drops or increases in these levels

tuning of my would be required
the variable of how many times do you want to re test this
change in audio level

but I think I could do this design
I have xilinx license
how about you buy the development board, and we get it done before NAB
2014 not gonna happen

almost 2015 piece of cake
