[dba-Tech] For audio: The Levelator

Hi all

Don't know if any of you produce podcasts or similar containing "the spoken word" but, in case you do, here is an excellent (and free!) tool for automatic control of loudness in such productions:

[it] adjusts the audio levels within your podcast or other audio file for variations from one speaker to the next, for example. It's not a compressor, normalizer or limiter although it contains all three. It's much more than those tools, and it's much simpler to use. 
The UI is dirt-simple: Drag-and-drop any WAV or AIFF file onto The Leveler's application window, and a few moments later you'll find a new version which just sounds better.
