The output is much more constant now with only a very limited effect on the sound.
Update is coming soon (working on the last details now, performance is hit quite badly)
Edit: Building now!
This version will give a MUCH flatter output, at the cost of slightly increased volume effects (I'm not sure if that's good or bad though; I've listened to a recording with both versions on different channels with headphones and I could hardly hear the difference. The biggest difference that I've seen is around 1 dB in total output volume, in all cases that I've seen so far the difference was spread evenly through the entire spectrum.)
If the volume effects are too big, I can also create an in-between version (less flat, less volume effects) - or even add a slider for it (but hard coded values make it easier to optimize it).
By the way: The clipping filter is working very differently if you enable 'FLAT FREQUENCY RESPONSE' - if anyone hears artifacts let me know! (Although I would expect the sound to be BETTER rather than worse).
'FLAT FREQUENCY RESPONSE' replaces 'POST FILTER' - at a slightly higher CPU usage. If you enable FLAT FREQUENCY RESPONSE, the POST FILTER setting has no effect anymore.
Edit: I just realized that I've built this new version with also some Loudness changes. These changes should improve the sound in most cases, but for certain difficult sounds (xylophones etc.) it might cause some mild bass artifacts at high Loudness settings - or, if you have Hard Limit disabled, larger spikes than before. That's because I haven't finished this change yet... (It should be configurable, and I need a 2nd Hard Limit stage). These changes will replace the current 'relaxed limiting' slider!
