It detected that the level that I set the volume is this and would now lower or raise everything from that by manually turning the volume knob. My memory is a little vague now but I remember thinking at the time it was a pretty cool feature.

Of course that would only happen when I push the Volume leveling button.

Again, I'm just saying.......

I used to have a recorder with automatic level control, and it really sounded like crap. But that was 20 years ago, and they have progressed over the years. But you cant necessarily do anything with software you can do with electronic software.
